Goodell increases punishment for domestic violence

[The Raven]

Roger Goodell is increasing punishments for domestic violence offenses. First time offenders will get a six game ban, and second time offenders will be banned from the league. 

 

"My disciplinary decision led the public to question our sincerity, our commitment, and whether we understood the toll that domestic violence inflicts on so many families. I take responsibility both for the decision and for ensuring that our actions in the future properly reflect our values," Goodell wrote. "I didn't get it right. Simply put, we have to do better. And we will."

 

There's speculation that the Ray Rice incident was the specific case prompting this change.

Hey now, you don't know what happened. Court of law is always right, just ask OJ. Just my opinion, we're allowed to disagree. Go Ravens. Rah rah.
