Bears’ Brandon Marshall still can’t escape his past

brandon marshall 3Tuesday night, ESPN’s documentary program “E:60” rolled out minor updates on a 2012 profile of Marshall that deeply chronicled his arrest record and experiences with domestic violence.

Marshall took exception to the network’s approach and voiced his criticisms on Twitter.

Then Wednesday, civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred had a news conference in Atlanta, using people from Marshall’s past as a means of applying pressure toward the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell.

With opportunistic timing, Allred demanded the league strengthen its investigation process into players accused of abusive and violent behavior.

That news conference, on the heels of the “E:60” episode, again redirected the focus on Marshall away from his ongoing reform by accentuating his troubled past.
