- Is the NFL doing enough to address domestic violence? (program audio)
In the wake of the murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, journalist Justin Peters looked at the issue of domestic violence and the NFL.
He found that out of 32 NFL teams, 21 of them have this year had at least one player who's been charged at some point with domestic violence or sexual assault.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that he has a goal of reducing domestic violence in the league, but what he's done to address the problem remains unclear, says Peters.
