“Law & Order: SVU” plans to put its spin on a hot button issue as it preps an episode about domestic violence in the NFL.
Producers for the crime drama love to rip their stories from the headlines, and its audience love them to be at least a little messy. November sweeps this year is going to be the perfect time to play that up! It seems that “SVU” writers have drawn some inspiration from Ray Rice’s domestic violence scandal.

Mary Jo Kane, a lifelong Chicago Bears fan and college professor, settles in to watch a football game and finds herself taking a tally of the players — one she’d rather not do, but can’t help.

The comedian and View co-host does more mansplaining when it comes to domestic violence.
Whoopi Goldberg is quickly becoming an advocate for men who inflict domestic violence upon women. You may recall back in May, during the Solange Knowles-and-Jay Z elevator fight, that Goldberg said Jay Z had every right to hit Solange back.
“I think Solange was quite ready for him to do whatever he was going to do,” Goldber
In a Friday discussion on First Take about Ray Rice’s controversial two-game suspension, Stephen A. Smith went off the rails, delivering a rant that implied some women are to blame for domestic violence.
