So much about Goodell's handling of this is just so wrong. Having Ray Rice's wife tell her side IN FRONT of Ray and his agent and attorney? WTF? How is that supposed to get him to the truth? And Goodell SAW the tape of Ray striking his then fiancee, so he can't pretend that he doesn't know.
I've got two daughters and this whole thing makes me sick. What kind of message does it send if a multimillionaire gets a 2 game suspension, a standing ovation from fans and he never has to utter any words saying things like "I struck her" or "I did it" or "What I did was wrong". No, he has been allowed by the league to use all this passive voice bullshit like "situation".
KO is right on this one. Goodell has played the corporate stooge for too long. He has NEVER been a Commissioner and it's time for his reign of failure to end.
The NFL needs an actual Commissioner to LEAD the NFL forward.
