Ravens WR Steve Smith Sr. is likely the most outspoken WR in the NFL. Steve Smith also takes appreciation in treating women and family right. Have someone who shares a field with him go against that, and you can assure their will be some form of un-apologetic trash talk, and rightfully so.
On Wednesday, NY Giants Kicker Josh Brown confirmed accusations made against him months ago that he had beaten his wife (including while she was pregnant) dozens of times over the course of a year. In disturbing accounts, Brown noted he physically, mentally and physiologically abused her numerous times treating her as a slave and manipulating her with money.
Brown somehow avoided jail time and in regard to punishment handed down by the NFL, was only suspended for a single game. The kicker was even resigned by the Giants who knew about to incidents at the time.
Steve Smith, who’s own mother is a survivor of domestic violence, took to Twitter Thrusday to share his digust with Brown fueled by his self-confirmation of the abuse.
