Ronda Rousey responded Thursday to those accusing her of committing domestic violence by admitting in her book to beating up a boyfriend.
The dialogue over Rousey’s admission was stirred up Tuesday when Yahoo Sports’ Eric Adelson asked whether there should be more outrage over the MMA fighter saying in her book that she beat up an ex. Adelson’s article sparked a wave of similar thought as more outlets began to ask the same question.
One difference to me between Rousey’s actions and those of other high-profile athletes such as Floyd Mayweather who pleaded guilty to reduced charges was that Rousey seemed to be defending herself.
