Atlanta Falcons Player Charged In Alleged Facebook Fight

An Atlanta Falcons player is facing battery charges in connection with a fight with his wife over a Facebook friend.

Gwinnett County police arrested offensive tackle Quinn Ojinnaka, 25, Tuesday at his home in Suwanee.

Police said he tussled with his wife and spat at her during a fight over a female friend of his on Facebook.

Ojinnaka said his wife tried to stab him with a pen. She said he threw her on some stairs and tossed her out of the house.

Ojinnaka has been charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor. He posted $2,400 bond and was released from the Gwinnett County Jail.

An OLine is afraid of his wife with a pen....I bet he is a reserve or non-starter.
Simple battery....actually that should be STUPID BATTERY. What a dummy!

Right up front I will say that domestic violence is no joke.  But this is truly an absurd situation.

Police said he tussled with his wife and spat at her during a fight over a female friend of his on Facebook.

Ojinnaka said his wife tried to stab him with a pen. She said he threw her on some stairs and tossed her out of the house.

You must be a real tough guy, Mr. Ojinnaka, to toss around a woman like that, regarless of how the dispute started. Even if she comes at him first with a pen, Ojinnaka is 6-foot-5 and 305 pounds; unless he's married to Julius Peppers, this situation should never escalate to this point.

This brings me back to one of the smartest things an old college roommate said to me when people wanted to take pictures at parties: "No evidence!" Athletes are seldom choir boys and having a lady friend onthe side is no surprise.  However, there is no need to be Twittering about it or making it available to the entire planet to see on Facebook.

One more thing Mr. Ojinnaka: that guy on the other end of that phone ringing is Roger Goodell; he'd like a word with you.

Note to self.....don't sign up for Facebook (since my woman has "tendencies" when jealous)

Bastard should have not been flirting with another woman online anyways.

Ojinnaka said his wife tried to stab him with a pen. She said he threw her on some stairs and tossed her salad.

Wow!

Wow! I can't believe this happened to Quinn. Quinn and I used to play Madden together and he seemed like a nice guy.

There is a reason why women are so eager for men to sign up on facebook.

Do not do it!

Speaking from experience?

Yes!

Why did you try to get men to sign up on facebook or is it rude to ask?
