Sports Gone Insane Day Eleven Part Two: Most Americans Showing True Colors, Support Domestic Violence and Child Abuse

No one should be surprised by many of these poll numbers, given the recent ratings.


However, Sports Illustrated, today, reports that an NBC News/Marist poll indicates:

• Though 53% of all respondents and 57% of the football fans polled do not believe the NFL has done an acceptable job of handling recent domestic violence reports...
• Only 29% of those polled believe Roger Goodell should step down as Commissioner. 
• And a full 86% of those polled state they have not changed their viewing habits -- with 3% actually saying they'll watch more!
• There is a cultural difference in different parts of the country regarding corporal punishment as child abuse.  Only 34% of those responding say corporal punishment is a proper way to discipline a child.
• However, that number rises to a bare majority (51%) in the South.

Given some of these numbers, is Keith Olbermann right when he said that Anheuser-Busch got Adrian Peterson re-suspended?


I'm not 100% sure now.
