Before Thursday night’s Steelers-Ravens game, announcer James Brown delivered a statement on domestic violence and manhood that has been winning raves from viewers.

@hollyrpeete @USATODAYsports @JBsportscaster That should not be a simple plea/wish- it SHOULD be common sense for all people!!

Careful with that “real men” talk — it’s pretty dated and sexist.
Nice to see high profile male ask other males to change attitude towards women. Way to go @JBsportscaster http://t.co/UEd9KGJPBX
