The actions, or inaction, of Roger Goodell in the case of Ray Rice knocking out his wife in an Atlantic City elevator is needless to say a divisive topic. ESPN’s Keith Olbermann has been very vocal at his distaste for the NFL commissioner’s fumbling of pro football’s domestic violence problem, even calling it a “cover up.”
Said Olbermann, “Each body, each leading individual involved, came to a judicial conclusion about what had happened to Janay Palmer and what should happen to Ray Rice. And each, through deception or incompetence, misled the public, damaged the efforts of every man and every woman seeking to merely slow down the murderous epidemic of domestic violence, and made a mockery of the process by which those who batter those who they claim to love, are be brought to justice.”
The analyst urged that everyone involved should be fired, adding that “Mr. Goodell is an enabler of men who beat women.”
Watch Olbermann’s commentary below. Let us know if you agree, or disagree, in the comments.
