Professionals who work with domestic violence offenders and victims say they’re not surprised by the recent revelations of alleged domestic violence by Johnny Manziel, but they are surprised more isn’t done to prevent domestic violence by organizations like the NFL.

“I don’t think any of us can be surprised when you have a story like today’s story or the Greg Hardy story comes up on the news,” said President of SafeHaven Tarrant County Kathyryn Jacobs. “That’s not shocking at all, really. Because we’ve frankly done nothing to address it.”

As details of Manziel allegedly hitting his girlfriend unfold, experts say there are classic signs of domestic abuse.
