49ers' Smith puts Brown, NFL on blast with 9-tweet rant
Many NFL fans and media members spent Friday afternoon boiling in frustration over the actions of New York Giants kicker Josh Brown, and the league's subdued reaction to his trend of domestic violence.
So did many NFL players.
San Francisco 49ers receiver Torrey Smith was among the most vocal on social media, tearing into the NFL's lax treatment of domestic abusers - such as Brown's current status on the commissioner's exempt list, where he'll still be paid.
He is still getting paid though smh https://t.co/hH94mYOF1J

Celebrating a TD will get you fined but being an abuser can keep the checks coming in 🤔😑

Me tweeting that could get me fined but if I slapped my wife and no one saw it on camera I would be straight smh

It's disrespectful to the good men in the league that handle themselves the right way...you get punished for having fun but JB can get paid

As a person who witnessed DV growing up I don't understand how a man can do it...I may think his actions are a joke but the guy needs help

I hope he gets all of the help he needs while cashing checks every week
