SI.com Kickoff

I’ve spent the better part of 15 years writing about athletes and crime, particularly violence against women. It’s a problem that just doesn’t go away. Starting today I’ll have a regular column at SI.com called SPORTS AND SOCIETY. In it I’ll be taking a closer look at the off-the-field behavior of pro and college athletes. My debut piece is ‘A Double Standard when it comes to Athletes and Domestic Violence’ is here http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/jeff_benedict/08/18/krod.stephenson/index.html?eref=sihp
