The Daily on Frank Clark

May not have had a mother or father present in her life and possibly could have hardships as a youth. She may not have had a platform such as an academy or big time university to help her. Gosh, she may have been the person who helped Frank the most. We'll never know, but i do know she didn't deserve her fate either.

"This article is horrifying. You are doing no less than JUSTIFYING the actions of a perpetrator of violent crime. Rarely do I post comments on a piece itself, but rarely have I been this enraged by an article."

I think I'll grab my popcorn for the Daily's comment section. 

This article provides nothing of substance.

 

I mean seriously what point are they trying to get across here?

 

Where is this logic that telling someone (a grown man by the way) that you get free college and could go make millions playing an organized sport makes all violence OK to him? Are we to conclude that Frank Clark didn't know the difference between tackling another man on the football field and punching his girlfriend in the face?

 

Stopping calling Frank Clark a kid. I'm sure he had it bad growing up, alot of people do. Few people are gifted with an opportunity to overcome it like he was and he decided to piss it away. End of story.

This thread could get interesting...

Aaaaand this article gets pulled in 5, 4, 3...

prove no point. I don't know what he's trying to say.

The article gives no new info, draws no conclusions and leaves a rather large opening for a fecal storm.   They should have given this guy his article back and told him to finish it first.

That is so unbelievably poorly written, content aside. It reads like a 12-year-old wrote it

Very sad situation, for all involved.

If things happened as alleged, I think Frank should do time.  Perhaps his grilfriends family will find a way to forgive him.  And I would hope he becomes a better man.

If he is humble and contrite and learns from this huge mistake, his days of playing football might not be over.

 

Three of Michigan's finest completely missed the point of the article and decided to out themselves in the Daily's comments section. 

There can be tremendous value in talking about how we can try to mitigate risk factors that indicate violent behavior may be in someone's future if people can bring themselves to not dart straight for the #hottake button with their own conclusions and actually read the article. 

The point of the article is revealed at the end and it's a pretty lame one considering what he's accused of doing, with photos to support.  It's also rambling, and incoherent enough to make people on all sides mad.

is just sad.  Here was a guy that grew up in conditions so awful that few of us could even imagine what it was like.  Exposed to drug addiction, violence, crime, and extreme poverty every single day of his young life.

He gets a chance to change his life for the better and screws it all up one night in an alcohol fueled rage.

Now instead of going to the NFL he'll probably end up in prison.  

Seems like this author was handed the same talking points as mgoblog. I hate agenda driven journalism. Frank Clark didn't just have one bad night. That night was very clearly part of a pattern of abuse. Thankfully for the victim, he got exposed and arrested. The fact that he was drunk probably made Clark less careful about concealing it. Sorry, apologists, forgetting to conceal your abusive nature isn't "one bad night." Hopefully she won't go back to him and end up getting killed. Too many sociopaths in society, too many well-intentioned people who aren't familiar with their nature and willing to forgive. Read a book about domestic abuse before you assume that "deep down he's a good guy." He's not -- deep down he's empty.
