Patriots QB Tom Brady weighs in on domestic violence, Josh Brown situation with NFL

Tom Brady received a four-game suspension after a multimillion dollar investigation deemed the New England Patriots quarterback was “generally aware” of deflating footballs before the 2014 AFC title game. New York Giants kicker Josh Brown received a one-game ban for a domestic violence arrest, a decision made before claims of other incidents were detailed last week.

That dichotomy was brought to Brady’s attention during an interview on a Boston radio station on Monday.

“I think it is the league’s issue,” Brady told WEEI. “Obviously, there is a lot of controversy with that. I’m trying to stay out of all that. I will let them handle it. I think that is their responsibility. I certainly don’t condone any part of domestic violence. I think it is a terrible, terrible thing. I think the league, they have to handle those types of things.”

Brown was put on the commissioner’s exempt list --- basically, paid leave --- on Friday by the NFL, two days after the King County (Wash.) Sheriff's Office released documents where Brown admitted he had "been physically, emotionally and verbally" abusive toward his then-wife Molly Brown. The NFL was unable to obtain the information when it imposed the one-game suspension before the start of the regular season.

“I’m just going to stay in my lane,” Brady said. “Like I said, it’s up to them to decide whatever they want to do. I’m just going to try and stay out of any kind of my opinion. I certainly have opinions, I just don’t really care to share them.”

Brady said in the radio interview that it’s a “tragedy” when domestic violence occurs.

“Any type of abuse or bullying of people who can’t defend or fight for themselves, I have no respect for that,” Brady said. “Like I said, the NFL, they claim to take tough stances and this is their situation. This is their situation to deal with. I’ll let them deal with it. I was very fortunate to grow up with sisters, a mother — I condone no part of that. That is absolutely something I would never be apart of or do.”
