2013 video emerges of Saints' Junior Galette striking woman with belt; NFL aware

Tough video to watch...

While it's easy to see that Galette hits a woman with a belt twice, we have no context surrounding the events that lead to that video.

I did see a man and woman approaching Galette who both seemed to be in attack mode. This is where Jr. could have and should have back peddled his way out of it.

Instead he lashes out wildly and hits a woman at least once on purpose.

The fact that he re-entered the fight is also bad.

Here's my thing:

If this happened in 2013 when did the NFL receive the tape?

Was it sent to the same office as the Ray Rice video? Same desk? Same person??

Did the NFL see the video and if so, why didn't they take action?

Sounds logical.

Pretty much sums up what I'm seeing in the video ... guy in the blue shorts looks to me like probably the catalyst to the whole situation ... him & Junior (allegedly) are fighting, over what? A woman at the beach? Who knows. Fight breaks up & then he's (blue-shorts guy) at it again with a female, possibly one of Junior's (allegedly) entourage, so Junior (allegedly) re-enters the fray, #shrug. This guy/JG (allegedly) needs to start hanging out with a different crowd, #shrug.

Why'd it take 2yrs to surface? You'd figure if it was JG, the ambulance-chasers woulda' been on it quicker than that,
