Unfortunately, Ive seen the video, Polamalu said. But I have a lot of issues of my own that I deal with. In truth, I couldnt judge him on anything, because Im defiled by as many passions and sins and more than him, most likely. I have my own struggles. And, obviously, hes got his own struggles. And we all have our own struggles. So, I cant look past my own struggles to judge him. Polamalu also was asked to address domestic violence. Its a horrible issue that people have to deal with, Polamalu said. Im very blessed to have been married for almost 10 years now. I have a wonderful wife, and Im so thankful for that. But its an unfortunate issue that couples have to deal with. Polamalu then recalled that the Steelers were the only NFL team to vote against the current collective bargaining agreement in 2012. I know that one of our main contentions, when our team was the only team to vote down the collective bargaining agreement, was that the Commissioner had sole power in being the judge and jury in these cases, Polamalu said. So, its all on him, and it was on him from the beginning. And I dont know what kind of access he had to that video, but unfortunately the NFL has become less about football and more about what surrounds football. I think its pretty easy, nowadays, with social media, to lose track about the sport. A lot of parents want children to look up to these athletes as role models, so its a double-edged sword. -Troy Polamalu
