Reflections/Questions

I would use this source in my paper to further support the idea of domestic violence becoming contemporary because of its relation to sports figures. This piece could really help me in my paper to support the relativity of domestic violence due to its relation with sports figures.
Notes/Summary

The author of this source makes a point in saying that the attention of the public has more recently been drawn to this issue of domestic violence because is now concerns notable sports figures. The main purpose of this article is to bring attention to domestic violence and how many sports figures are involved with it. Paragraph three gives specific data about how many women suffer from domestic violence. Many women who are affected by domestic violence never receive or seek help. However, because these women are affiliated with noteworthy men, people quickly responded to the situation.
