The NCADV made this Jeurys Familia anti-domestic violence video disappear

New York Mets pitcher Jeurys Familia warming up, cracking his knuckles and wrists while a 9-11 domestic violence call plays in the background, in a commercial for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) takes on a whole new chilling look after the Mets reliever was arrested on a domestic violence charge in connection with an alleged domestic assault in a Fort Lee apartment, according to a complaint filed in court and obtained by The Record on Tuesday.

They've made that video disappear.



The #NotAFan is a public awareness campaign focused on empowering fans to take a stand against domestic violence and features sports figures from the New York teams: The Yankees (Joe Girardi), Mets (Familia), Knicks (John Starks), Liberty (Kiah Stokes), Rangers (Rod Gilbert), and Cosmos (Lucky Mkosana and Giovanni Savarese) in a series of video PSAs and photography portraits.

And while they've bleached the Familia video already -- here is a dramatic 60-second mash-up compilation.

Girardi: I’m a baseball fan. I’m a Yankee fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.​
Familia: I’m a baseball fan. I’m a Mets fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.
Starks: I’m a basketball fan. I’m a Knicks fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.
Stokes: I’m a basketball fan. I’m a Liberty fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.
Gilbert: I’m a hockey fan. I’m a Rangers fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.
Mkosana: I’m a soccer fan. I’m a Cosmos fan. I’m NOT A FAN of domestic violence.



Terrible. And in a selfish note, if true, Familia just destroyed a sketchy 2017 Mets team to boot.
