The Pretty Ex-GirlfriendNFL world was rocked Thursday by explosive revelations that New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to abusing his former wife -- writing, among other things, that "I viewed myself as God basically and she was my slave" -- before he signed a $4 million contract in April, and before he was suspended for just one game to open this season.
Outrage spread far and wide among fans, players and media alike. Then Giants co-owner and CEO John Mara made everything worse in a Thursday afternoon radio interview.

I think what’s a little unclear is the extent of that," Mara said on New York's WFAN sports station, before adding that "what we have read about is obviously disturbing."
Not surprisingly, the crux of Mara's statement along with the rest of his WFAN interview, rubbed many the wrong way.

Here's -- well, you get the point. You can find many, many more examples of the reactions Mara elicited if you care to sift through Twitter.
Meanwhile, Mara sang a much different tune in September 2014, when the NFL was in damage-control mode following another domestic violence incident by a different player.
"There is no place for domestic violence in our sport or in our society, and we are committed to doing our part to prevent such heinous acts going forward," Mara said then.
That was just over two years ago.
