He can cheer for that player on the field and learn how to treat women from his dad, uncles and grandfathers.

Good way to think about it and is similar to what my wife said about it. I didn't support the pick even though I liked him as a football player. The incident really altered my opinion of him. My wife is a much more open person to giving people 2nd chances, so she helped me to lighten my stance. He may never have learned how to treat a woman from the men in his life growing up, but maybe the counseling, maturing, and letting his aggression out on the field will help him in life to remain a better human. That being said, he wouldn't have had to worry about playing football had it been my daughter he did it to.
