The Commissioner wants to become a leader in the “domestic violence space.” A group opposing domestic violence will return to the airspace (see what I did there?) over an NFL stadium with the message that it’s too late.
The national women’s advocacy organization known as UltraViolet will once again fly a “Goodell Must Go” banner over the site of a prime-time, nationally televised game. The group announced Wednesday that the banner will fly over the Georgia Dome before Thursday night’s game between the Buccaneers and the Falcons.
The message could be lost on the folks attending the game, since the stadium is, you know, a dome. But those outside will see it from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. ET, and it appears the organization has no plan to stop its push for change at the top of the league office.
Last week, the banner flew at multiple NFL venues, including MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
While the assault has largely subsided in recent days, the outcome of the NFL’s investigation regarding the Ray Rice situation and the NFLPA appeal of the indefinite suspension imposed on Rice will have a strong influence, one way or the other, whether the owners will change Commissioners.
