NFL and domestic violence situations are always handed in hand when certain guys make bad decisions.
This time…it’s not a Black man who we’ll see on television getting destroyed in terms of his image.
“Former Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Chad Wheeler was formally charged Wednesday following his arrest on suspicion of felony assault-domestic violence. The King County prosecutor’s office filed criminal charges of first-degree domestic violence assault, domestic violence unlawful imprisonment and resisting arrest against Wheeler, a spokesperson with the office told ESPN. He is accused of twice choking his girlfriend until she lost consciousness,” via ESPN.
Wheeler is no longer on the Seahawks and is scheduled to be arraigned Feb. 9 after he felt ashamed by his actions.
