Dorthy Newton the former wife of Nate Newtons, from the Dallas Cowboys came out in her interview with Sports Illustrated that the team knew that in the 1990s that she was being abused and never helped or defended her. She spoke out about her years of abuse as it started out as verbal then escalated into physical abuse after the first Super Bowl Victory. The abuse got so bad that when she was pregnant her husband shot her in the stomach. One of her friends told the franchise and they still never did anything about it. The franchise has been facing problems because they recently signed Greg Hardy who was found guilty on domestic violence against his girlfriend. I think that sports players are getting away with domestic violence with little to no consequences. It isn't a fair representation of the sport or of the Franchise.
