i don't think this is an NFL issue alone.

Remember the avs goalie varlamov who was charged with assaulting his wife...

Varlamov was arrested and charged with misdemeanour assault after his girlfriend told police he knocked her down with a kick, stomped on her chest and dragged her by her hair at their apartment on Oct. 30.

can you imagine how horrid that video would have looked to the public??

i can't seem to find anything online to confirm, but pretty sure he didn't get any suspensions from his team or the league. In fact, it didn't make proportional waves in the NHL headlines at the time either or have public outcry the way the rice or peterson incidents have.
