Domestic violence perpetrated by male athletes upon their intimate partners or family members is one of the most common off-field crimes that affects sports administration. There is an ongoing struggle among sporting leagues, governments, and viewers to address the increasing number of domestic violence incidents committed by athletes that come to the sporting public’s attention. The NFL, National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), National Basketball Association (NBA), and the sport of boxing employ and promote athletes who have committed domestic violence, which presents a dilemma when their offending becomes public knowledge. Most prominent are instances of domestic violence that are reported as being perpetrated by members of the NFL, due largely to the immense popularity of the sport in the United States and the role models the sport’s participants are expected to be.
