Former NFL Players Speak Against Domestic Violence at Dallas Rally

 NFL Hall of Famer Roger Staubach expressed dismay last Saturday that public campaigns and rallies must still be held to tamp down the instances of domestic violence that leave women battered and bruised.

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and other city leaders have waged a public campaign against domestic violence after a series of high-profile crimes in which woman were killed or attacked, allegedly by men.

"You can call a man who hits a woman a lot of things, but you can't call him a man," Rawlings said.

Lara Gaither, outreach director for the Genesis Women's Shelter in Dallas, said that over the last year or two, overall crime has dropped in Dallas. The exception is cases of domestic abuse.

"We can't end domestic violence until men are part of the solution," Gaither said before the rally.

This rally underscores the need for education among young men about controlling their emotions and not letting anger escalate into aggression and violence. To read the entire article, see below.
