Equal rights group UltraViolet has been outspoken about their call for NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to step down.
#GoodellMustGo
This is an effective way to make a statement.


The group’s official statement, from their website:
The commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, has been caught in a despicable and disgusting lie and he must resign. He insisted that the NFL had asked for the hotel surveillance video of the horrific and brutal assault of Janay Rice, but had never seen it. However, news just broke that the law enforcement officials sent the NFL the video in April--and the NFL even acknowledged receiving it--a NFL employee was even quoted saying, “It’s terrible.” And shockingly, after watching Ray Rice beat his wife and knock her out cold, NFL executives still only suspended Rice for two games.
It’s horrendous--and completely undermines the NFL’s credibility. Calls for Goodell’s resignation are mounting--it’s time for him to go. Will you sign the petition?
Tell NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell:
“Resign immediately. Your failure to take domestic violence seriously is outrageous.”
