But deliberately hurting a 3 year old child just gets me on a whole different level, it turns my stomach, you know what I mean? It's probably because my first born is the same age.

At the same time, I was already quite hammered when I made that post last night lol.

I feel the same way...as a father hearing a parental figure hurting a kid takes it to another level.

While all these guys are absolute crap...these women can at least tell someone and get away when this stuff happens.

Lord knows what that child has gone through and at only 3....to be terrified of your father but who can you run to?  Cause the mom was obviously a party in it as well. 

Kids at that age so much just want to love and be loved yet this one got punched in the chest for crying...people who do this have a special place in hell.

It's not that easy to leave these situations. The women do share some culpability but this all has to be put into context. If they call the authorities, then they become single mothers with minimal income and no child support because the fathers would be out of the NFL and possibly in jail. It is definitely worse for the children to have physical and emotional abuse, but mothers sometimes think they can be minimize it and rationalize that this is better for them and the kids in the long run. Plus for some of these family units, they have always known and planned for years that the NFL was the only real way to escape poverty so they are even less likely to "throw that out the window". Plus some then internalize the abuse and then think it was all their fault to begin with.
