Newton ex-wife: Cowboys knowingly backed abuser

Dorothy Newton, the ex-wife of three-time Super Bowl champion Nate Newton, opens up about domestic violence and her new book 'Silent Cry: The True Story of Abuse and Betrayal of an NFL Wife.'

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been under fire all season for signing and supporting defensive end Greg Hardy, who was convicted on two counts of domestic assault in July 2014 before the case was dropped on appeal when the alleged victim failed to appear in court.

The ex-wife of former Cowboys offensive lineman Nate Newton says Hardy’s situation isn’t the first time the organization has knowingly supported an abuser.
