"I see you:" revisiting the troubling tale of Cameron Sutton


Listen Later

In the Season 2 premiere, David and Marshall delve back into the story of former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton, who committed a violent crime, fled the scene, and avoided the police for almost a month before turning himself in. We consider the impact of violent jobs on personal relationships, and the essential quality of being able to 'turn it off' after a game. We also explore ways the league might mitigate post-game violence, and speculate on the challenges NFL athletes face in asking for support and managing their anger. We conclude (35:28) by unearthing a little-known potential explanation for why Cam Sutton allegedly committed this violent crime, and why he showed up at the Lions's practice facility as if nothing had happened. Theme music: Mr. Jukes and Barney Artist, "Blowin Steam (Open Up Your Mind)"
