The hope is that some good comes from the spate of domestic-violence issues that dominated headlines in September and made for the worst month in NFL history. Embattled commissioner Roger Goodell went missing for 10 days and when he finally emerged from hiding, a tepid press conference only exacerbated concerns that he was ill-equipped to lead the most powerful sports league in the country.

Did they do PSA's regarding Hope Solo or Chamique Holdsclaw?
And isn't Messing in a TV show where women beat up men? If so, hypocrite.
The NFL (National Felon League) should be showing this PSA to their own players, not the viewers.
Will the players wear pink every week now?
LOL!
What would happen if these players claim to be ‘followers of the prophet’. Wouldn’t it be fun to watch the media deal with that?
means they didn’t sell the ad space.
No, they can’t wear pink for this. It needs its own flashy, bright, neon color. Emblems of black-and-blue might be more appropriate.
Are the fans beating their wives now??
NFL acting like a bunch of wusses.
The players won’t be watching, so what is the point?
Have you stopped beating your wife at backgammon?
lolz
The whole idea is to “smash the patriarchy” that is football season.
Some women complain that their husbands ignore them or demand silence while they are watching the games religiously every season (Sunday, Monday...).
I don’t watch the game much (with rare exception).
The “league” has been trying to chickify football for years.
There are women who are VERY big into the game. But clearly that isn’t enough for the powers that be.
I watch it so seldom that when I started seeing some broadcast games at a friend’s I noticed that there are no shots of the cheerleaders anymore.
But the whole game has gotten a bit “shakey”.
Wasn’t there a press campaign that made the wire services a few years back about the rise in domestic abuse cases during football season?
>> Are the fans beating their wives now??
Apparently that’s the message.
Scumbags are destroying a great sport while insulting the fans at the same time.
Funny how the media can ask repetitively: what did Goodell know and when did he know it for something involving some stupid personal conduct violation but they cannot find the time to ask Obola what did he know and when did he know it about: Fast and Furious, Bengazi, IRS scandal, etc. Tonight will be the creme dela creme when square head interviews Obola on 60 minutes with a host of precleared soft ball questions designed to make him look smart and informed.
I don’t watch hardly ever but I don’t have much choice but to listen, as it gets played real loud down here. I do notice the stadiums are blaring raunchy music, can you imagine taking a child to that?
Ice-T to appear in a spot?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
too bad when your spokesperson(s) ate thugs themselves..
this is some twisted sht
Supposedly only during the super bowel. They might as well toss in some anti-gun ads just for the heck of it. Asshat costas could do the voice overs.
Time was contemporary or “pop” music was not played at sports events. MAYBE a “marching” band or organist would play something off the charts, but rock and roll records and worse seem to have seeped into athletics from the UK where “soccer anthems” were a “thing” (think Rock & Roll Music Part II, which was written to be such music).
