24-game suspension for NBA player guilty of domestic assault

Many residents in Upper Marlboro, Maryland are fans of the Washington D.C. sports teams. As these sports fans are aware, the NFL is going through a massive domestic assault problem right now and they are supposedly trying to correct it. The NBA also had a player recently arrested for domestic assault, and he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for the offense.

Jeffrey Taylor has been in the NBA for just two seasons, but as his third season — the current one — was about to begin, he was arrested for domestic assault after he pushed a woman down in a hotel lobby. Apparently they were arguing before the incident. The woman was well enough to reject medical treatment, though she did suffer minor injuries from the fall.
