Completely unnecessary comment.
I think most normal & rational posters will fully understand what BT is alluding too - he's not denigrating women but merely citing a very sad fact.
Domestic abuse in this country has some pretty horrific figures especially in regards to women losing their lives at the hands of despicable partners.
It is a very serious subject that does not get enough exposure in my view.
Take those paragons of virtue at the BBC & Sky particularly from a sporting perspective, they have ultimate platforms to raise awareness but no, their pre-occupation lies elsewhere.
It can't be argued that it has nothing to do with sport because it is very relevant to football in particular - there have been plenty of examples of thug footballers beating on women & that is even before due process unravels the Giggs affair.
Women's Lives Matter Too.
