A horrifying video has surfaced showing former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urías viciously attacking his wife outside BMO Stadium, igniting a firestorm of anger across the nation. The footage, which spread rapidly online, appears to show Urías slamming his wife against a fence before throwing a punch, only to be restrained by bystanders.
The graphic scene has triggered national outrage and condemnation from across the sports world. Among the most outspoken voices was Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who took to social media to denounce Urías in scathing terms.
“You don’t deserve the title of athlete or man,” Mahomes wrote. “What the world saw in that video is pure violence, and it has no place in our society, our homes, or our game. Real men protect their families—they don’t destroy them.”
Urías, who has faced previous off-field controversies, is now at the center of an intense public reckoning. Fans and advocates alike are calling for stricter policies across professional sports to address domestic violence, an issue that has plagued multiple leagues for years.
Women’s rights organizations have also weighed in, emphasizing that the disturbing video highlights the need for accountability, not excuses. One activist stated, “Sports cannot continue to reward abusers with contracts and second chances while victims are left in the shadows.”
As investigations continue, pressure is mounting on MLB and other sports organizations to permanently distance themselves from Urías, while the chilling footage serves as yet another reminder of the urgent fight against abuse in professional athletics.
