Ethics in Public Support/Opinion

This article really made me think about sports again.


Mayweather reportedly has not, and will not, accept responsibility for his actions even though he has served time for domestic violence. Domestic abuse is awful as it is, but the abuser here has built a career and name on physically beating people. It's his job and he is good at it. Everyone from the hotel staff to the cable networks are making money off of his ability to hurt people. I did not see one person or organization withdraw their support from this fight in recognition of his abuse record and lack of attempt to work on his violence and self-awareness. 

Is this right?
