I'm not one to condone thugs, especially in the NFL. the media is on the proverbial warpath to bring down these people and its commissioner, Roger Goodell. As is the case there's another unreported story that deserves national attention but you won't find it above the fold of any major newspapers. I'll go further. You won't find this story in 99% of newspapers.
Since the opening of the 2014 school year there have been 325 reported sexual abuses committed against students by teachers. This is astounding.
The NFL is currently mired in controversy surrounding issues of
domestic abuse among its players, as well as how
Commissioner Roger Goodell has handled the issues. There have been five arrests for domestic violence and one arrest for child abuse since the start of 2014. That doesn’t count multiple arrests for assault, drugs, DUI, and more as
USA Today has tracked. Disturbing? Compare that with the 325 school teachers and employees arrested for sexual misconduct with children since the beginning of the year.
U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and U.S. Representatives Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.), and Steve Stivers (R-Ohio) recently attempted to bring attention to the problem in a press conference and news release announcing a bill to protect students from sexual predators. It was met with a resounding thud, as primarily only local Pennsylvania news outlets covered the announcement, according to a
Google search.
