The failed to take action in “hundreds and hundreds” of domestic abuse cases, said former Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo during his three decades in the league.

“I made a mistake,” Angelo told USA Today. “I was human. I was part of it. I'm not proud of it.''

According to the report, Angelo said he would make sure no one was injured when informed of domestic abuse allegations and then quietly move on.

The most serious legal trouble to entangle the Bears during Angelo’s tenure was a series of weapons charges against defensive tackle Tank Johnson. There were no publicly revealed domestic violence cases involving the Bears during his reign and he didn’t share any specifics in the story.

“We knew it was wrong,” he told the newspaper. “For whatever reason, it just kind of got glossed over. I'm no psychiatrist, so I can't really get into what that part of it is. I'm just telling you how I was. I've got to look at myself first. And I was part of that, but I didn't stand alone.''
