(4,407 posts)It let's people off the hook to easily. Just calling this guy a "hater" keeps them from having to consider the sport that glorifies violence, and it says, this is just one bad apple - one guy who "hates" women. Then, people who keep buying tickets or watching it on TV get to dismiss this as one "hater" and not have to consider all the rest of it. They don't have to stop supporting the game that makes violent people.
You're letting then off too easy. Why is that? Why would you rather just call him a hater than get to the core of the issue?
The NFL initially suspended him from two games. Why? So everybody who watches it can say the matter was dealt with and not have to take responsibility for their part in supporting violence against women. By saying he's just a guy "who hates women," you are also giving people a free pass from their responsibility.
