Seattle Seahawks Consider Brandon Marshall's Domestic Abuse History

Many of those charged with domestic violence in Seattle wonder if and how these charges might affect their chances of future employment. While an isolated case may or may not have long-term repercussions on your career, chronic, repeated offenses backed up my evidence could seriously harm your reputation – and NFL player Brandon Marshall is a prime example.

The Seattle Seahawks are looking forward to a better upcoming NFL football season – and they are in dire need of a strong, talented receiver. However, as the team considers taking on receiver Brandon Marshall, many are concerned with his history of domestic violence. Marshall allegedly abused his first girlfriend, Rasheedah Watley, who shared her story on ESPN’s Outside the Lines. Watley described a number of violent and abusive incidents – incidents that are backed up with police reports and photographic evidence of her injuries.

Later, Marshall and his fiancée Michi Leshase Nogami-Campbell were involved in a domestic dispute that Marshall’s former NFL team swept under the rug.

Now the Seattle Seahawks are wondering if they should ignore the past charges and give the player a new chance – they even invited him to Seattle for a weekend visit. However, many believe that Marshall’s apparent history of violence and abuse will do nothing for the team’s image or the team itself. While the former manager of the Seattle Seahawks tried hard to keep men of character on his team, sports fans are unsure whether this trend will continue, especially as Seattle looks for a winning team.
