Dolphins’ Hill says focus is on football amid domestic violence allegations
Miami Dolphins’s broad receiver Tyreek Hill said on Friday that he focused on football in the midst of reports that the NFL had launched an investigation into allegations of domestic violence against him.
The NFL would have investigated after TMZ reported this week that the separate wife of Hill, Keeta Vaccaro, accused her in files sealed in a divorce deposit of being physically violent towards her eight times during their 17 -month wedding.

Hill’s lawyer Julius Collins said the allegations were false.
“I focus on playing ball and spending time with my children and doing what I am best and to provide for my family,” said Hill to journalists on Friday, refusing to comment on specific allegations.
“All the noise, I have the impression that if you allow this kind of thing to bother what you are trying to do, it can only disturb what you really try to do.”
Vaccaro lawyer Evan R. Marks, told Miami Herald that she had sworn that allegations contained the divorce petition were true and correct.

Whatever the result of this case and even if there is no criminal investigation, the rules of the NFL allow the League to investigate independence and discipline the hill under the personal conduct of the League if it is deemed justified.
While commercial speculation turned around Hill, he said he was happy to stay in Miami.
“I would love to be here,” he said. “My family is there. My children are there. But it’s the NFL. Anything can happen.”
