Trevelise: Giants did the right thing in cutting Josh Brown

I'm a die hard Giants fan, and Josh Brown is one hell of a kicker. He's also one hell of an abuser, as he admitted himself. Having said that, the Giants did the right thing in releasing him. 

Sooner or later your sins catch up to you. Brown's day of reckoning came when the King County Sheriff's office in Washington released 165 pages of documents telling a horrific story. If Brown were not completely honest with the Giants about all the abuse that went on, then shame on him. If he was, and the Giants still elected to sign him to a free agent contract even though they could have just gone in another direction, then shame on them. Apparently the players knew.

Either way, it's not good for the Giants or the entire National Football League, who put Brown on the exempt list to allow him to play again. Every time he takes the field, women will get a pit in their stomachs too strong for any game-winning field goal to eradicate. These are the same women who are buying the Alyssa Milano-approved clothing and pink breast cancer awareness gear. They are not buying this though, starting with Giant player Eli Apples mom, herself a survivor of domestic abuse.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who admitted he got it wrong in the Ray Rice case where the Rutgers alumni was seen on video punching his fiancee in an Atlantic City casino elevator, blames the NFL incompetency on this issue on a public misunderstanding. While we're at it, shame on him too!
