You clearly don't have kids.

Because he don't play. Haven't you been paying attention?

You find me an NFL player with a long career who isn't addicted to pain pills and I'll tell you to check their medicine cabinet.

I think you missed my point.

Is that why you weighed in with your opinion? Because you thought it was so pointless to express any opinion?

Yet you needed to scold those who are capable of verbalizing that it is wrong to beat a defenseless child bloody.

Victims of abuse often rationalize that abuse.

If you can't feel comfortable making a moral judgment about someone beating a defenseless child bloody to the extent that the injuries are still there a week later, then you've got to ask yourself some difficult questions.

You managed to say absolutely nothing at all.

I would love to follow around some of these Gawker commenters for a day and videotape everything they do so it can be held out for public scrutiny.

What do you think would be a more appropriate description?

Kind of puts it in perspective, doesn't it?

Can you fault him for raising his kids this way when he attributes his success to the role his parents' discipline played in his upbringing?

Yeah, condemnation of beating a defenseless child bloody, to the extent that a dozen lacerations are easily visible a week later. Do you really have a problem with condemning such an action?

wouldn't want the man to falsely be accused of being a ball whipper

Because although he has the biggie heart, he don't play no games when it comes to acting right.

I don't think you're encouraging child abuse, but I also don't think that people who still think this kind of abuse (and that's what it is, make no mistake) is acceptable get the message unless there is unequivocal condemnation and we don't accept the "well, they come from a different cultural experience..."…

No wonder why we are the unpopular opinion.

That's what baffles me, too. I just can't imagine swinging that stick, seeing blood, and not thinking of what happened to your other kid.

Do you think it is acceptable to literally beat a child bloody, leaving dozens of lacerations that will be easily visible a week later?
