Domestic abuse is beginning to garner national attention in the media, which is great for those who are suffering from such a destructive relationship.
Inevitably, it also leads to an increased sensitivity towards the amount of physicality you’re allowed to use when dealing with women – and at this point we’re pretty much at a zero tolerance policy.
The Gainesville Sun reported today that University of Florida wide receiver Chris Thompson was charged with “misdemeanor simple battery/dating violence.” The charge concerns an argument Thompson had with an ex-girlfriend over text messages:
According to the GPD complaint, Thompson and his ex-girlfriend got into an argument over a phone text Thompson received from another female. While attempting to physically retrieve his phone from the alleged victim, Thompson scratched and bruised her arms and scratched her neck, leaving lacerations, according to the complaint.
Thompson claims that she stole his phone, always two sides to every story, but as the man you have to know when to walk away..
Dude should have had a lock on that thing, anyway.
