I interrupt this day of 15 football games with a clear and concise message: Domestic violence is real and we as a society still have no clue how to act on it. On a day where the Eagles face the Minnesota Vikings in a litmus test of this young team’s prowess, I should be excited for the game ahead. Unfortunately I am not. The events that have transpired in wake of Brown’s actions are unavoidable and I can not remain silent on this issue. This is not just an NFL issue however. This is a societal issue.
