    San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh addressed Ray McDonald's arrest on his weekly radio appearance on KNBR on Tuesday, making it clear that he won't tolerate domestic abuse but also saying that he believes in due process.

    "There's going to be two principles at play here, and one is, I'll speak for myself, I'll speak for the 49ers, we will not tolerate domestic violence," Harbaugh said. "Second principle is we're firm believers in due process. And I ask for your understanding on those two principles."

    Harbaugh would not say whether McDonald would be allowed to practice this week or play in this weekend's season opener at the Dallas Cowboys, although he did reiterate his stance on the charges.

    "If someone physically abuses a woman and/or physically or mentally abuses or hurts a child, then there's no understanding," he said. "There's no tolerance for that."

    McDonald was jailed on felony domestic violence charges and was in the custody of the Santa Clara Sheriff's Department before posting bail Sunday afternoon.

    He wouldn't discuss what happened with television news reporters who approached him after he posted bail.

    "I can't say too much, not right now, but the truth will come out," McDonald said Sunday. "Everybody knows the kind of person that I am. I'm a good-hearted person."

    after Aldon Smith played after his blowup, I expect nothing less from the 49ers.

    The Niners believe in zero tolerance unless the player is a starter and they need to win on Sunday. Your hypocrisy is showing, Harbaugh.

    Never liked Harbaugh, even though he played for Michigan. He seems like a real douche.

    Meh, I'm a believer in due process so I have no problem with this.

    Yeah what the hell, you want him to bench a player who has been convicted of absolutely nothing? Playing him after a sentencing hearing would be one thing, but he hasn't even been to court yet.

    Raggy copied and pasted that part from an op-ed piece below the preseason standings he was studying in his local paper.

    The only issue if I was to find one is the order of what Harbough's message was. #1 should have been support for due process which would have answered the bloodlust of the media's push & then the obligatory "now if you want a clarification of the 49er/my stance on domestic violence...".

    But either way, everything he said answered the possible questions...

    And YOUR homerism is showing, Nutsiepoo. I guess if an axe murderer wanted to play for the Niners, you'd be OK with that, too.

    There was a time when NFL head coaches had a little backbone when it came to discipline. Not anymore. These days, the inmates are running the asylum.

    I don't like his demeanor on the field. He's always yelling and screaming about something. You ever notice that?

    Yeah it's just the worst when coaches are intense and really into what they are doing.
