You are well aware of Marvin Lewis’s 26-year streak without a playoff victory as well as his 0-7 postseason record. The Bengals’ history of aggressiveness against women and their arrest record are disturbing and frustrating.

Women Helping Women, a local group, expressed worry this week about the Bengals’ decision to choose a player who had hit a lady in the face and the message that sends to the community.

The Bengals’ history comprises:

Media databases tracking NFL player arrests show eight arrests involving documented attacks on women since 2000.
a league-high quantity of citations and arrests between 2000 and 2009.

a statement made by the battered wife of a former player alleging that the Bengals told her to report the incident to club officials rather than the police in order to save the team from negative publicity.
It also demonstrates how the Bengals retained their best players despite allegations that they had attacked women. Sometimes the dismissal of less good players happened later rather than sooner.
