I'm mindful of the fact that there are dudes reading this who do in fact get physical w their wives and or women, and think "that's just the way it is in this world".
I've got 3 little daughters and I'm looking forward to protecting them from these men for the rest of my life.
I just can't tell you how prevalent abuse is, folks. And, yeah, maybe Beard's situation has some mitigating circumstances...clearly he didn't harm a child, put her in hospitals, maybe played some self Defense....whatever.
It's OUR approach to it that matters to me. And this "well he cites Bobby! and sure done coach ole miss good!" makes us look like yokels.
Maybe Beard has changed, or at least learned. But he needs to have to stopped drinking for me to support him...and I think Coach Knight would say the same, truthfully.
