If anything we've learned that a lot of abuses never get reported, let alone arrested, let alone proven guilty in court.

And would you please take notice of the female on male DV-cases that never gets reported (I´m guessing about 90%?)?
I will absolutely take notice of the female on male DV cases.   However female on NBA power forward DV cases?  Or female on NFL linebacker DV cases? Or female on sumo wrestler DV cases? Or female on NHL player DV cases? Or female on UFC DV cases?  Or female on Navy Seal DV cases? Not quite as much.

I don't know what you know but from what you are saying, not much about female on male DV. It is rarely the case where the man was abused because he was smaller and couldn't defend himself against the woman. There are many reasons why men don't defend themselves against a woman abuser or "allow" it... men who don't want to fight a woman, men with low self-esteem who think they deserve it,  men who were abused as children, men who are afraid to fight back fearing repercussion by the woman's family, etc. Then, the reason why most of it goes unreported is because of the same reason they don't report being sexually abused, shame and embarrassment. ANY sized person can be abused, no matter if they are an MMA fighter, it's not about whether they can defend themselves or not. The way you are throwing around guys who are big and strong is just the reason why they don't come forward... who's going to believe, not judge, and mock a man who gets abused by a woman? It's sad you feel the way you do but you're entitled to that opinion.


Edit: even a smaller man more often than not can overpower a bigger woman than themselves, so again, it's more about the mental side than size and strength!
What I said was that while female on male DV happens I think female on male pro athletes violence happens not as much. Are you saying you think female on male pro athlete violence happens as much as pro athlete violence on women? Lots of women dragging running backs down the stairs by their hair the way Lawrence Philips did?  I do suppose there are a lot of mystery injuries happening at home or off the field. Andrew Bynum reinjured his knee bowling. I think you get the occasional pitcher that hurt themselves washing the car or picking up their kids. I guess that could be it.
