However, the point still stands. Domestic violence is one an entirely different level than street racing, especially when we're talking about outrage. I don't even know why I have to explain this after the metoo movement,

Generally speaking, yeah. But that’s not always the case without video evidence.
I mean, hell. You’re in here crying about how no one cares about the Sutton case when YOU don’t even care about it. You literally didn’t even know he had been picked back up by the Steelers or that one of the key allegations in the initial report was erroneous.
And you’re an idiot but I’d consider you plugged in to the NFL. You really expect the average NFL fan to give a shit about an ongoing story like this enough to follow along at every turn? Like I said, without a video it’s just another headline that gets lost in the 24-hour news cycle, just like all the rest.

In any case, Sutton was gone by the time police arrived making it pretty hard to prove he did that.

Right. That’s a point I’m trying to make. Domestic disturbance issues in particular are difficult to deliberate on. Without video evidence, it’s tough to know what truly happened and; therefore, less likely to cause moral outrage in high numbers.

I suspect that every person on this board has gotten hit. Maybe not through sheer violence, but we've all taken a shot to the button. I've been in fights and have taken a couple hooks straight to the jaw. I didn't go dark. I've taken a flying leap and helmet to helmet blow extending for a pass in a football game - saw stars, didn't go out.
We KNEW Ray Rice absolutely beat the shit out of that woman. He got, what, 2 games?
When the video surfaced, he was effectively banned from the league.
The video shouldn't have been necessary. It shouldn't have changed things even the slightest bit.
But it very obviously did.

I’m glad you agree with me. Staylor privately messaged me once that you’re the poster he respects and looks up to the most on the board.
