EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants released placekicker Josh Brown on Tuesday, six days after police documents revealed Brown admitted to repeatedly abusing his former wife while they were married.The move came shortly after the player issued a statement insisting that he never hit his wife during a six year period when he admits spousal abuse.Giants President John Mara says the teams beliefs, judgments and decisions were misguided in how it handled its relationship with Brown. He indicated the Giants did not know the full extent of Browns problem until last week.We hope that Josh will continue to dedicate himself to rehabilitation, and to becoming a better person and father, Mara said in a statement. We will continue to support him in his efforts to continue counseling, and we hope that Josh and his family can find peace and a positive resolution.It is not immediately clear whether Brown will receive the rest of his $1.26 million salary.Brown was previously suspended for the opening game of the season for violating the leagues personal conduct policy after the NFL investigated his arrest in May 2015 for spousal abuse against his now ex-wife, Molly. Brown was accused of grabbing his wifes wrist as she tried to reach for a phone, causing a contusion and bruising. He was not charged by local authorities in the case in Washington state.But documents released by the King County Sheriffs Office, including journals and emails, detailed a history of abuse far greater than Brown acknowledged when he spoke about being disciplined before the season started.I have taken measures to get help so that I may be the voice of change, not a statistic, Brown said Tuesday.

Through the past several years I have worked to identify and rectify my own behaviors.Two days after the admissions became public, Brown was placed on the commissioners exempt list on Friday while the league considered further discipline.

She alleged that during that time he shoved her into a mirror, breaking it, and that he shoved a chair into her leg, bruising it, according to the report.Brown said he has spent the past several years working to identify and change his behaviors.The road to rehabilitation is a journey and a constant modification of a way of life, Brown said in the statement. My journey will continue forever as a person determined to leave a positive legacy and I embrace the opportunities to show and speak about what has helped me to be that man.At the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Browns wife said she called NFL security to move her and her three children to another hotel to avoid harassment from her estranged husband.

Football Federation Australia has asked TV networks to state their preferred A-League expansion club locations as part of negotiations for what they hope is a bumper new broadcast deal.The long-anticipated agreement moved a step closer on Thursday, the deadline for network executives to submit their tender documents.With two new teams to be added in the 2018-19 season - within the next four-year broadcast cycle - TV rights negotiations have become inextricably linked to expansion.So much so that FFA chief executive David Gallop revealed the desires of networks would partly dictate where the governing body chooses to introduce those teams, on the premise that a deals value could differ vastly depending whether a new franchise is based in southern Sydney, Brisbane or Tasmania.We want them to indicate when they come to us their attitude to not only expansion, but expansion where, Gallop said.Its not appropriate to go completely into the detail of discussions with media companies, but we have indicated that were looking at the feasibility of adding teams.We want to add teams and therefore weve asked them for their view of a competition that is 12 teams, not 10.Gallop said FFA was not quite pre-disposed to certain markets but conceded its certainly someething that has been clear in our thinking for a number of years now.dddddddddddd.Ive said for some time, expansion is more than the ability to set up a sustainable operation in a geographical location - thats only half the equation, he said.The other half of the equation is adding value to the whole competition and the game, in the sense that you provide something that is of value to our broadcasters, our national sponsors, and therefore the overall pie grows.It means some expansion bidders could, for all intents and purposes, be out of contention even before FFA release their criteria in February, given the governing body hope to sign a new broadcast deal in the next couple of months.Close to a dozen different parties are waiting on that criteria before they progress further with their proposals.FFA are hopeful of a significant increase on its current deal worth $40 million a year, though Gallop recently tempered expectations of hitting their ambitious target of $80 million a year.Its believed Optus, beIN Sports and most free-to-air networks have shown interest.As incumbent rights holders, Fox Sports have last rights.
