oh well then it's because no one gives a shite about womens soccer.
This is what it boils down to really. The same reason nobody would care if Mark Madsen cheated on his wife, but Kobe Bryant gets crucified for it. If you're in the spotlight (which the NFL is much more so than women's soccer), you are going to get full attention from the media.

Not to diminish the specter of domestic violence, which is horrible, but let's be honest. Some of the feeding frenzy which has engulfed the Ray Rice incident has been perpetuated by people who have agendas and are simply using the Ray Rice incident to further said agenda.
Some of this artificial hysteria can be explained as part of the #waronmen. Don't think so? Well, just ask yourself this question. Even if a video surfaced, do you think NOW gives a damn about whatever physical violence Hope Solo perpetrated against a couple of relatives? Of course not. Meanwhile, they think they need to tell the NFL how to conduct their business, and whether or not Roger Goodell should be the Commissioner.
I'm not standing up for Goodell, because the original 2-game suspension was a joke. I'm just pointing out that some of the loudest voices on this matter are simply trying to further their own respective agendas.
I guess men have simply become the latest group that the PC crowd is targeting. I guess we should all walk around with a sign hanging from our necks, saying "Sorry for having a pair."
