Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) on Sunday said that she and her fellow female senators are “very resolute” to address the way the NFL deals with cases of domestic assault.
After a video of former Ravens player Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee Janay Palmer, the league has come under fire for the way it addresses domestic violence among its players.
Feinstein said there’s “no place” for such violence in the league.
“I believe very strongly that if a player is arrested, they should be suspended and if they are convicted that ends it,” she said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “This has gone on too long. It is getting too bad. And these teams have to set an example for the rest of society.”
“This has gone on too long. It is getting too bad. And these teams have to set an example for the rest of society.”
The Senate and Country should set an example also. I would say you have remained in office too long.
If you’ve lost Dianne Feinstein, NFL, you’ve lost, well, Dianne Feinstein. Nobody really cares what she says–she’s a tool. Interesting, though, that she seems to suddenly find it necessary to appear relevant.
Get ready for televised hearings, as if these people have nothing better to do.
Is there anything these Statist don’t believe is the business of the U.S. Congress?
Yes, god forbid the government takes steps to enforce the laws they have written. How dare they stick their nose in these capitalist enterprises’ conspirings to obstruct justice by throwing their money and power around to reduce or remove sentences for their offending players? Truly, they go too far.
That said, it’s kinda sick how politicians will latch onto and politicize any current event to gain our ADD riddled attention. Many people believe domestic violence is a problem that we do not have the adequate infrastructure to address, though. You’ll be hearing about it for a while.
This is a clear sign Goodell has lost war hawks.
