Day Seven: Ditka Speaks Out For Abuse

After Cris Carter went on ESPN and emotionally demanded a real look at child abuse (not unlike James Brown's statement on domestic violence), leave it to Mike Ditka to pull a Jim Nantz and, well, you be the judge here...

From Yahoo!'s blog report on the statement:

"Still, fellow panelist Mike Ditka — who feels like the most addled and dark-aged commentator on the air at times — says physical abuse made him a better man as a child."

Cris Carter passionately calls out Adrian Peterson for abusing his son (near tears). Mike Ditka then says "I became a better person for it."

How much further do we, as a culture, let this old-school sports/football culture go before we put a stop to it?

EDIT TO ADD A FACEBOOK ASSHOLE:  From Duchovny's Twitter -- and I'm not sure if this is the former X-Files star or not...  (Kinda looks like him)
