Darin Gantt reports the news on Friday the New York Giants have placed their place kicker Josh Brown on the Commissioner's Exempt List which means he will be on paid leave but not allowed to be their place kicker for the remainder of the current football season. Officials of the National Football League had to step in and take action on Brown who admitted in documents that were released this week that Brown had emotionally and physically abused his former wife. The Giants were not planning to take any disciplinary action besides benching him for their next football game that will be played on Sunday October 23, 2016 versus the Los Angeles Rams in London England. The National Football League in 2016 has taken a severe beating in the court of public opinion with the protests of several football players refusing to stand during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and now the alleged criminal acts of Josh Brown abusing his former wife. It is getting tough to be a fan of the National Football League in 2016 since the media likes to report the dark side of American football.
