UltraViolet: Yet Another Failure by NFL to Take Domestic Abuse Seriously

Statement from UltraViolet Co-Founder Nita Chaudhary on NFL Decision to Overturn Indefinite Suspension of Ray Rice:

“Let’s not forget the issue at hand here, which is that 55 cases of abuse went unanswered under Goodell’s watch. It was also his decision to issue a pathetically short punishment in the first place that gave Rice a way out with today’s ruling. The problem here is the NFL’s long history of sweeping abuse under the rug.”
