Sounds like you work for a shitty company. I was arrested in college for domestic violence. Lived in a state with a mandatory arrest law and my girlfriend was living with me and we got in to a shouting match. The neighbor was concerned and called the police. No one was struck, no one was injured, but since the police were called, someone had to go to jail. And guess what. It was me. My girlfriend didn't want to press charges but the small town did. I spent a few hours in jail and with the help of a lawyer and my girlfriend, the case was completely dropped. I called my boss to inform him the day everything happened, because I was worried I could lose my job. I was 19, in college full time, working for an engineering firm part time. If I lost that job, I'd lose my apartment and move back in to the car I was living in when I started college. In no way was I punished by my place of employment, they were in fact concerned for my well being and offered me counseling and any other help I may need.

That being said, I feel like the MLB should be more concerned about teaching Chapman how to control his anger issues and helping him grow as a human being who is a role model to young children across the globe rather than punishing him for being an angry person who made a poor decision. Let's face the facts. A man of his stature who can throw a baseball over 100 mph at will would have left a mark had he harmed or handled that woman. On the flip side of the coin, he made an awful decision to fire a gun in a fit of anger over a dispute with a woman who probably was looking for a court settlement out of him with these DV allegations. Domestic Violence is a serious issue and the only way it's going to get any better is to teach people how to handle anger and emotion. That being said, if he was charged and found guilty, suspend his ass.
