I'd like to see the law and football politics separated, too. Such that football players committing crimes are tried and sentenced appropriately rather than with the judge and jury thinking about how it's going to mess up their Sunday entertainment.

In the specific cases where a woman is the perpetrator (like in your relationship), this might be an appropriate thing to say. However, even with rising numbers of female perpetrators it's still a minority of cases, and the high-profile cases that have come up recently aren't cases in which a woman was the perpetrator.

Granted, as Kobi said, this is a thread for breaking news events. I'd love to get into my crazy ideas about violence and the meaning of increasing incidences of female perpetrators and possibly also our national bad habit of putting our entertainment before everything else, but I should probably not derail the thread any further than it has already been derailed.
