Psssttt…Have you heard the news?
Delonte West is in trouble – again. I wrote the last sentence with a healthy dose of sarcasm and disdain.
According to a report from WOIO Channel 19, West argued with his newlywed wife this past weekend and she filed a report against him for domestic violence.
The two reportedly fought at their apartment when Delonte tried to take her wedding ring off. Mrs. West left their home and headed to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, where she filed a domestic violence report.
Cleveland Police tell 19 Action News there were no signs of abuse or injury. Mrs. West then got on her flight and flew out of Cleveland.
Key words: “no signs of abuse or injury.” This should be filed under non-story. The only thing that makes it news is the trouble West has had in the past couple of months. I understand that he’s a public figure, but this borders on frivolous.

George, perhaps you did not notice, but the second word in “domestic violence” is “violence.” Do you think West’s wife filed the report for giggles and yucks? Does she have to look like the dog in “The Little Rascals” for it to be more than “frivolous?” http://xr.com/vlm4
If the exact same report was filed against Mangini, the media would be calling for Mangini’s scalp. But with the LeBron situation hovering over town, everybody in the local media is walking on their tippy-toes. West is a chump, a clown, and every other derogatory word that begins with the letter ‘c’.
Get a grip, Alan. No signs of physical abuse are the key words there. You can be violent physically or verbally.
I’m no liberal, George. And, I certainly have a grip. Precisely what does “no signs of physical abuse” mean? I mean, so what? A punch or a slap or aggressive shoves don’t necessarily leave a mark. Every slap doesn’t leave a mark. What does the police report state? You’re a reporter, find out.
