  • After Unsteady Steps to Punish Domestic Violence, N.F.L. Faces Scrutiny Again
    After Unsteady Steps to Punish Domestic Violence, N.F.L. Faces Scrutiny Again By KEN BELSON and BILL PENNINGTON OCT. 21 2016 The N.F.L. indefinitely suspended Giants kicker Josh Brown after the release of documents that mention abuse of his ex-wife. Credit Al Bello/Getty Images After one of the most egregious cases of domestic violence among National Football League players two years ago, in which a star on the Baltimore Ravens was caught on video knocking out his fiancée, the league vowed a not-again, get-tough approach. The player, Ray Rice, was suspended indefinitely after an uproar regarding his initial punish- ment, a two-game suspension. Public service announcements featuring players denouncing domestic violence were broadcast during games. A former prosecutor was hired to lead a newly formed unit to help the league investigate cases without relying solely on the authorities. And the commissioner, Roger Goodell, after the public burst of anger over Rice’s conduct and the initial limited penalty for it, instituted a policy of six-game suspensions for players found to have committed abusive acts against a spouse or partner. Yet the N.F.L. is once again facing a crisis after revelations this week regarding a Giants player who admitted to the team that he had abused his wife and was allowed to remain on the roster after only a one-game suspension from the league. Police documents released Wednesday showed that the player, kicker Josh Brown, wrote about being “physically, verbally and emotionally” abusive to his wife. The team took him off its active roster on Friday, and the league suspended him indefinitely with pay.

  • John Mara October 28, 2005 Eulogy to His Father Wellington Mara St. Patrick's Cathedral
    John Mara October 28, 2005 Eulogy To His Father Wellington Mara St. Patrick’s Cathedral On behalf of my mother and my entire family, I want to thank everyone here to celebrate my father’s life. Many of you came from deep distances and we are very appreciative. Thank you also to all of you who called, wrote, or visited over the past several weeks. The outpouring of love and affection displayed to my father has been overwhelming and a source of comfort to my family. Also, I want to thank Cardinal Egan for his frequent visits and comforting words; Bishop McCormick who visited my father every day and brought him communion; Frank Gifford who was a constant visitor and who has been a true friend to my family for so many years. Thank you also to Sloan Kettering, who took such good care of my father the last six weeks. They treated him like they were his own father. When he finally decided that he wanted to go home and he was being taken out of the hospital, the nurses and the staff were all in tears. That is how close a bond they formed during that stay. There is one person who deserves special thanks, Ronnie Barnes, who my mother refers to as her 12th child, spent night after night and many days in my father’s hospital room taking care of him night after night. ‘Is Ronnie coming tonight?’ My father would ask. Of course, the answer was always ‘yes’ and my father’s face would light up when Ronnie’s face walked into the room.
