Because the NFL is in a position to do something about it with respect to the members of their organization, and up until recently, they have chosen to mostly look the other way and maybe give a little slap on the wrist. I'm sure you're fine with that.

A bit more proof that recent attacks on the NFL are politically motivated.

Note- why is the White House bothering to get involved with this?


White House says NFL needs to 'get a handle' on domestic violence


Roger Goodell under assault for being a Republican

You wouldn't be posting this "proof" if it was a Conservative Republican in office. The domestic violence and other personal issues within the NFL aren't a new thing. It's BEEN a problem, long before Obama even got into politics. When the most watched and exposed professional sports league in this country has issues like this, people will say something.

As for Goodell being "under assault", it has nothing to do with his political leanings. Most football fans, regardless of their own political beliefs, don't give a rat's ass about whether or not the NFL or people IN the NFL are Republicans or Democrats. People have beef with Goodell for his exessive fines and penalties and taking the fun out of the league. Even the Super Bowl logos are boring now under his watch. And let's not forget this ridiculous idea of having OUR game in London, England.

Maybe the President finds domestic and child abuse disgusting as should most Americans?

Good to know that conservatives are all for spousal and child abuse, gotta take a strong stand for your values

Like other sports don't have a problem. So again why is the left targeting the NFL.

I think I know the answer--The left can't stand that the NFL is a tough sport, they are looking for ways to sissify it. Their motives are always the same. "CONTROL."
