New York Giants release K Josh Brown after abuse revelation

The New York Giants  released Josh Brown, stemming from the situation in which his ex-wife said she was physically abused more than 20 times by the 37-year-old kicker.

Brown was placed on the exempt list when the NFL decided it wished to further investigate his May 22, 2015 arrest on domestic violence charges. The Giants took it a step further by cutting ties with Brown just four days later. The Giants’ decision to move on from Brown came just hours after the veteran released a statement in which he apologized for his actions. He said he was getting help for his troubles and denied ex-wife molly Brown’s accusations of the more than 20 physical incidents.
