Seahawks' Russell Wilson: 'There’s no excuse for violence off the field'
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson penned a first-person account for Derek Jeter's new website, The Players' Tribune, about violence in the NFL.
Wilson, who is listed as a senior editor of the site, starts by admitting he bullied others when he was younger. He then calls for help to fix the domestic violence problem in not just the NFL, but all over the world.
From The Players' Tribune:
I used to beat people up. Truthfully, I used to beat people up a lot. Many of you readers probably think I have been Mr. Goody Two-Shoes my whole life, but honestly, I was a bully growing up. In elementary and middle school, I threw kids against the wall. I rubbed their heads in the dirt at recess. I bit them. I even knocked teeth out. I had a lot of anger that I didn’t know what to do with. Thankfully, I was saved by my faith when I was 14 years old, and was able to start living for others instead of just myself.
