Tomey endorses domestic violence

To the editor,

I'm especially disheartened to find out that Dick Tomey football endorses domestic abuse. What kind of message is this sending to Junior Wildcats?

Would Mr. Tomey's decide to play Savea if the victim had been his daughter and the witnesses his grandchildren? I'm sure that another player would have been able to fill in for Savea on the field until the charges have been taken care of.

There are numerous statistics on domestic abuse, I'm not a sociology major (Mr. Savea), so I'm not going to quote them. Needless to say most women will be a victim of it at one time or another. What is not needed is to have it as an acceptable behavior pattern by athletes/role models and the coaches condoning this type of behavior.
