EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants kicker Josh Brown on Thursday confirmed that his one-game suspension for violating the NFLs conduct policy stems from a domestic violence charge in 2015 after an incident with his now ex-wife.Like everybody is aware of, this moment happened over a year ago. The case was dropped five days after the moment happened, Brown said. Weve moved forward with our lives at this point. While Im not OK with the decision, I have to respect it. So I look forward to a 15-game season and moving forward with my teammates.Brown will miss the?season opener against the Dallas Cowboys?on Sept. 11.Brown was charged with assault in the fourth degree/DV, according to the police report.

Brown allegedly grabbed her arm while she was attempting to grab the telephone. She locked herself in a room and called 911.The responding officer wrote that given the complainants pain, the marks and bruising on her wrist and the statements of both parties, an assault had occurred.It was the second straight night police were called to Browns residence, according to recordings of 911 and police department calls obtained by ESPN. The couple had an argument the previous day that also called for police attention.Chargers were dropped because of insufficient evidence, according to the King County (Wash.) prosecutors office.?Brown, 37, said he informed the Giants of the charge the day of the incident, and a team spokesman confirmed they knew of the incident.The Giants re-signed Brown, who was named to the Pro Bowl last season after making a career-best 94 percent of his field-goal attempts, to a two-year, $4 million deal in the offseason. General manager Jerry?Reese declined comment.I do support the league office in their decision and their stance on personal conduct, said coach Ben McAdoo, who added that he did not know about the incident until after he took the job in January. I do support Josh as a man, as a father and as a player. We treat these situations on a case-by-case basis.McAdoo was firm in an interview with The New York Post earlier this year about what he wouldnt tolerate as a head coach.Domestic violence is something that were all cracking down on in this league. Thats something thats important to us as an organization, important to me as a man, and important to me as a coach, McAdoo said in the interview.The league considers Browns case a domestic violence issue.What this case shows is that domestic violence is an incredibly complex and complicated issue, NFL vice president of social responsibility Anna Isaacson said.Brown, who knew the ban was a realistic possibility in June, said he exhausted all avenues to have the suspension dropped.ESPN Staff Writer Jane McManus contributed to this report.

Stepping onto Governors Island on the first weekend of August, after a 10-minute ferry ride from Manhattan, you could hear the buzzing of hundreds of drones as if the island had been overtaken by loud, robotic bugs flying around an obstacle course.The U.S. National Drone Racing Championships, which were held on the island and shown on ESPN3 for the first time, was just the next step of a nascent sport on the verge of hitting the mainstream. Over the past two years, what was a popular pastime for hobbyists has led to the formation of a handful of national leagues, hundreds of local leagues and thousands of racers trying to establish themselves.When you have two cars racing, you get NASCAR, said Dr. Scot Refsland, the co-founder and chairman of the Drone Sports Association (DSA). And as soon as you have two drones that go really fast, you got yourself a drone race. Its the fastest-growing sport.The 150 pilots who raced at the U.S. National Drone Championships this past weekend in New York qualified from a pool of over 1,400 from around the country, which speaks to the growth of the sport. In October, the first World Drone Championships will be held in Hawaii, and by next year pilots will be in a position to become professionals and possibly make enough money to become full-time pro drone racers.Were all amateurs at the moment, Refsland said. Were not in an environment where we can support a pro racing system right now, so there are no professionals. But by January each one of our races will be professional races. This is the beginning stages of the sport.Several companies -- such as AIG, Ernst & Young, Vizio, Ecko and GoPro, which sponsored the race -- have taken notice of the emerging sport. For many executives who are on the fence about investing in the sport, the deciding factor, according to Refsland, is trying on the first-person-view (FPV) goggles. The special goggles make pilots and fans feel as if they are sitting in the cockpit of the drones as they zoom around.Youre no longer sitting here when you put on the goggles, Refsland said. When you put on the goggles, youre going 80 miles per hour at 100 feet and wondering if youre going to crash. When you pull off the goggles, people are sweating and twitching because the adrenaline rush is like youre up there. Thats what virtual reality is all about, and thats what drone racing is all about.Go here to watch a replay of the qualifiers, and here to watch the championships.Competition started Saturday at the National Drone Racing Championships on Governors Island in New York City for the individual, freestyle and wing competitions.James Cawley, and his son Liam, 13, of New York, watch the races from the sidelines using goggles that allow them to see the race from the pilots perspective.

Quad drones can fly as fast as 80 mph on straightaways, but the courses are designed to keep the pilots to a 60 mph limit, as defined by the Academy of Model Aeronautics.Edgardo Aponte de Jesus, left, and Marcos Junior Otero Badillo, of the Puerto Rico National Drone Association, complete work on their drone before competition starts.

With him, from left, are Nick Willard of Atlanta, Carlos Puertolas of California and Patrick Shaw.Low hills at the southern end of Governors Island provided a spectacular viewing location of the event. While the quad drones are small, the larger wing drones could be observed flying around the course at a distance.Pilots check out the times board in the pilots tent in between races. Each race was comprised of three laps around the course, with every pilots single best lap time counting as the result.Zoe Stumbaugh, who goes by the nickname ZoeFPV, launches her drone from the course during the finals of the freestyle competition.
