Former New Orleans Saints Wives Say NFL Covered Up Their Abuse (http://fansided.com/2014/10/17/former-new-orleans-saints-wives-say-nfl-covered-abuse/)
I didn't think I could hate Haslett more. What a scumbag.
I doubt he is the only one and I'm sure some of my DC hero are not saints. :(

I saw something a couple weeks ago (can't remember if it's a rumor or not) that basically said this is pretty much commonplace throughout the league. I'm sure recent events have changed how teams decide to approach these situations but I wouldn't be surprised if every team does this, including the Redskins.

Wonder if this story will hang around. Remember the press conference that lawyer in Atlanta held a couple weeks back for the woman who had been beaten by Brandon Marshall....yeah not too many people do at this point.
Not much by the way of stories on this since mid-September
Lawyer: Roger Goodell Ignored Victim Who Accused Brandon Marshall Of Domestic Violence « CBS Chicago (http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2014/09/17/lawyer-roger-goodell-ignored-victim-who-accused-brandon-marshall-of-domestic-violence/)
Though at this point former Saint defensive coaches are starting to rival NFL running backs in terms of bad behavior.

What Haslett did is not unique, some of the most respected HC's in NFL History have done the same

Just proves haslett was part of the problem. Doesn't make it right but it just proves what "values" a lot of these NFL coaches like haslett truly had.

I am not making light of Haslett's situation but the fact is, similar things happen all the time in many different businesses.
Domestic violence is a social issue which is much bigger than the NFL.

Exactly, it's an issue that goes deeper than the NFL. What's gone in the league with stories like this is just a reflection of society in general.
