And the Glen Ridge, New Jersey high school athletes who raped the retarded girl with a mini-bat. There's a pattern here, I said. Male athletes supported my claims. On Maury Povitch, former Dallas Cowboy John Niland admitted that he beat his first wife, Iree Van Cleve, and broke her nose. Niland shook his head.
None come to mind.
Maybe they weren't all violent, but I think they were emotionally violent to some degree. On CBS' Eye On America, former Denver Broncos star Vance Johnson admitted that he beat his first wife and knocked her unconscious. His teammates laughed. It was a joke to them. That's unfortunate, because I needed help.
