Apparently, he admitted to doing this, and not just the one time the NFL suspended for, in his emails, journal and letters. How did the NFL not know this at the time they suspended him?

New York Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to domestic violence in letters, emails and a journal, according to police documents.
The documents were part of Brown's final case file by the King County (Washington) Sheriff's Office stemming from a May 22, 2015, arrest following an incident with his wife, Molly Brown. The sheriff's office and prosecutor's office initially decided to postpone the filing of charges, pending further investigation, with the sheriff's office recommending that the prosecutor's office file charges of two counts of fourth-degree domestic assault. As of September 2016, charges had not been filed.
In one of Brown's journal entries obtained as part of the investigation, he writes: "I have abused my wife."
The Giants were unaware of Brown's journal entries, emails and letters admitting domestic violence, according to a team spokesman. They had not read or heard about them before their release on Wednesday.

Molly refused to let Josh in, and eventually had to call NFL and hotel security. Josh was escorted away from Molly's room and the NFL ended up having to put Molly and the kids up in a different hotel room where Josh would not where they were."

(9,350 posts)The NFL should suspend him the entire season and a game for each game he played in this season. I saw a report that claimed he pushed his wife into a mirror, pushed her onto the floor, and then jumped on her. Those actions are worthy of a season long suspension and even a permanent ban from the NFL.
