The National Organization for Women again called for Goodell’s resignation and an independent investigation into the NFL’s response to domestic violence incidents.
“Instead of listening to the multiple domestic violence experts that have approached Goodell throughout his tenure,” NOW President Terry O’Neill said in a statement, “he continues to diminish, evade, and deny the realities of the problem. Instead of working to keep Janay Rice safe, he removed economic security from her and her abuser — a known cause of increasing the risk of domestic homicide.”
