Watching the New York Jets DL Muhammad Wilkerson #96 today made me wonder about what his punishment for swinging not 1 or 2 punches but possibly 4 or 5 (I'd have to rewatch the game and it also depends on what you consider a punch). How different are his actions in todays football game against the numerous Packer players than Ray Rice's against his then fiancé?

Should Wilkerson be subjected to the same punishments as those who are involved in domestic abuse? Are his actions less bad because he is not in a relationship with any of the Packer players? I think if you punched people out on the street you would get arrested, why should it be different because it occurred during a football game?
