NFL 2014 Week One....Momma Said Knock Your Wife Out

But isn't it more than that? Isn't it a multi-billion dollar industry?

Sure, but it's a diversion.  I think people tend to attach too much meaning to certain aspects of it.

What is silly talking about NFL culture is that it implies that this is a problem that is special or uniquely problematic for the NFL. Like Ray Rice would never punch his wife in the face if he wasn't an nfl football player.

And there is no reason to believe, that I am aware of, that nfl players are more prone to domestic violence than anyone else.

Maybe Baltimore Ravens are...?

It depends.  NFL players get arrested for domestic violence at about 55% of the national average for 25-29 year old men.  However, when you also control for income rates, NFL players get arrested more often.
