The more I look at this, the more I am becoming certain that Pandora's Box is finally opening.
ESPN ran a feature on the Bears' Brandon Marshall (a staunch supporter of mental-health issues, even to the point of getting uniform fines a couple of times for trying to raise awareness) on it's E:60 program, and Brandon, as Deadspin points out, felt misrepresented.
He felt he was going to be promoting a camp for mental-health issues, and, instead, the E:60 feature pointed out Marshall's numerous domestic-violence scrapes of his own. (As the picture on the article indicates, Marshall admits he's bipolar.) Marshall sought help after his twelfth such scrape with domestic violence since he entered the NFL in 2006.
Though one can understand how "no one wants his name to appear next to Ray Rice's right now", as Kevin Draper put into the article, there's a chance this feature may put an end to Marshall's playing days.
According to Yardbarker and "11 Alive in Atlanta", Gloria Allred had a press conference stating her client, Rasheeda Watley, was assaulted by Marshall in 2006 and 2007.
Now, this might be no news to anybody, at least on surface, but Watley called Kristina Spivey forward to state Spivey had contacted Goodell after she and Watley both tried to get restraining orders against Marshall.
Goodell, it is claimed, covered it up.
So this now makes the seventh STAR PLAYER that either new allegations have come forward on or a cover-up has been alleged at the highest levels of the league.
Oh boy.
