The New York Giants are willing to accept a certain level of domestic violence out of their players.
That was the takeaway from Giants co-owner
John Mara’s impromptu interview on WFAN with Mike Francesa on Thursday afternoon.
For one, Mara said this:
“I can’t answer right now what the future holds for him. I think we need to gather some information and then try to make as intelligent a decision as we can.”
Mara said as much after these words from Brown became public knowledge: “I viewed myself as God basically and she was my slave. … I have physically, verbally and emotionally abused my wife.” Yet, before making any decisions on the employment of his kicker, Mara needs to “gather some information.”
Francesa asked Mara if the team felt deceived by the most recent revelations about Brown. Mara said that he did not feel hoodwinked, and that Brown had been honest with the team prior to the Giants’ offering of a $4 million contract.
