He also has a kid with her.. How can you go from being in love and having a child with a women to then hitting her.. He's hitting the mother of his child.. Seriously, how do people get into situations like this?

I swear footballers in general are just brainless chavs with alot of money

Downing allegedly hit his ex-girlfriend.. According to that.

What would drive any person (male) to hit a woman, seriously?

What is the difference between a man hitting a woman and a woman hitting a man?

Perhaps Downing was being abused. Perhaps she gave him two black eyes and he struck her in retaliation.

Until we know the facts then who are we to judge.

Men hit a lot harder than women (usually), but I do see where you are coming from. I am trying to think of a situation where I would hit a woman, maybe only if they harmed my family on purpose I think...unless it was Jo Brand, I can't stand her and she is nearly a man anyway!
