in our culture.

Three women a day are murdered by their husband or boyfriend.

I'm not sure of the stats on how many women are beaten a day, but I'm sure it's got to be pretty high.

So, to see it in sports where people are paid by their fans, there is a bit more attention. But the problem exists in all walks of life.

Thing is, is it is excused often, not just when money is involved, but when it is excused to make a buck, it adds another dimension.
