--------------------------------------------------------


 
The issue of domestic abuse is not restricted to the National Football
League. A new study finds one in five men in the United States has
committed an act of domestic violence. The report published in the
Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found nearly 20 percent
of men admit to "pushing, grabbing, shoving, throwing something,
slapping or hitting, kicking, biting, beating up, choking, burning or
scalding or threatening a partner with a knife or gun."
