Jerry Angelo: 'We knew it was wrong'
Former Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo said NFL teams didn't discipline players in "hundreds and hundreds" of domestic violence incidents during his 30-year career, USA Today reported Thursday.
"I made a mistake," Angelo told the newspaper. "I was human. I was part of it. I'm not proud of it."
Angelo was the Bears' general manager from 2001 to '11. He entered the league as a scout with Dallas in 1980, worked as a scout for the New York Giants from 1982 to '86, and was Tampa Bay's director of player personnel for Tampa Bay from 1987 to 2001.
"We knew it was wrong," Angelo told USA Today. "... For whatever reason, it just kind of got glossed over. I'm no psychiatrist, so I can't really get into what that part of it is. I'm just telling you how I was. I've got to look at myself first. And I was part of that, but I didn't stand alone."
