The sports world is reeling after a disturbing video surfaced showing former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías in a violent altercation with his wife. The footage, reportedly recorded outside a public venue, appears to show Urías slamming his wife into a fence and throwing a punch before bystanders intervened to restrain him.
The shocking clip quickly went viral, sparking outrage across social media and beyond. Among those voicing their anger was Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who did not hold back in his condemnation.
“This is not a man, this is a monster,” Hurts said. “We cannot stay silent when women are being brutalized—especially by people with fame and power. Enough is enough.”
Urías, who has faced legal troubles in the past, is now under renewed scrutiny as authorities review the footage. Calls for accountability are growing louder, with fans, analysts, and fellow athletes demanding that sports organizations take a harder stance against domestic violence.
Advocates for survivors of abuse stressed the importance of high-profile figures speaking out. “When stars like Jalen Hurts use their platform, it helps shed light on an issue that too often gets ignored,” one activist said.
As the investigation unfolds, public pressure is mounting—not only on Urías, but on the leagues and teams that must decide how to respond to yet another dark chapter linking professional sports and domestic violence scandals.
