New York Giants Release Josh Brown Amid Horrifying Abuse Revelations
Source: Huffington Post
The New York Giants released Josh Brown on Tuesday, roughly a week after the public release of documents that showed Brown admitting to physically beating his then wife in 2015.
We believed we did the right thing at every juncture in our relationship with Josh, team president John Mara said in a statement. Our beliefs, our judgments and our decisions were misguided. We accept that responsibility.
Mara added, We hope that Josh will continue to dedicate himself to rehabilitation, and to becoming a better person and father. We will continue to support him in his efforts to continue counseling, and we hope that Josh and his family can find peace and a positive resolution.
