With so many domestic violence cases surfacing with NFL players, the media has turned these cases of domestic issues into a media frenzy. The most recent release of a video showing Ray Rice assaulting his then girlfriend in an elevator, the NFL and it's Commissioner, Roger Goodell actions are under fire. Initially, Rice was required to serve a lenient two game suspension based on Goodell advising the media that he had requested to view the tape but had not received one. TMZ is the site that posted the actual tape which created a media frenzy and public uproar. This in return forced Goodell to come clean about not actually viewing the tape and to address the media and public for disregarding domestic violence issues with NFL player. He then later changed Ray Rice's reprimand to being suspended from the NFL indefinitely. Goodell later issued a statement with an apology for simply "getting it wrong" rather than the admission of being a liar. (Huffington Post, 2014). According to the Huffington Post, the published article "Goodbye Goodell" encourages the dismissal of Roger Goodell's tenure as the NFL Commissioner. Based on credible information and sources, this is not infact 100% true and has not been confirmed by Goodell and or the NFL. While this may be highly suggestive as a blogging perspective based on morality and the opinions of the public (sports fans) and media. The skinny, The Huffington Post's article on Commissioner Goodell's resignation is unconfirmed and based solely on blogosphere opinions of sports fans, sports analysts and suggestive measures fueled by TMZ's release of the original tape. Don't assume all to be fact via the World Wide Web. Source: The Huffington Post Abrams, R. (2014, September 11). Goodbye, Goodell. Retrieved September 24, 2014.
