“Roger Goodell’s failed leadership strikes again,” said a statement from NOW President Terry O’Neill. “NOW has been saying all along that the NFL doesn’t have a Ray Rice problem, it has a violence against women problem.
“An independent judge has called Goodell’s leadership an ‘admitted failure,’ and NOW could not agree more.”
O’Neill, who has called for Goodell’s resignation in the past, reiterated her position and urged a successor to conduct an independent probe of the league’s response to domestic violence.
