UltraViolet: Report Shows Ray Rice Case Was Continuation of Failure on Domestic Violence by Goodell
Statement from UltraViolet Co-Founder Nita Chaudhary on the Mueller Report:
“Mueller’s report doesn’t change the facts: under Goodell’s tenure, more than 55 cases of domestic abuse went unanswered. The NFL has a domestic abuse problem, and it simply doesn’t have the leadership to fix it. It’s clear from this report that Goodell’s NFL took no initiative to uncover the facts in this case— a continuation of Goodell’s long record of ignoring this issue. It’s time to take domestic violence out of the NFL, but first Goodell must go.”
