There is a lot to like in the NFL's new personal conduct policy, starting with its strong message that domestic-related crimes cannot, and will not, be tolerated.
But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell promised back in September to "get it right," and he's not quite there yet. If he's willing to set aside his ego, and some of his power, however, the NFL could have a policy that not only protects victims and gets players the help they need, but could serve as a model for how to address domestic violence.
"They're moving in the right direction," Kim Gandy, president and CEO of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, said after the NFL unveiled its new policy Wednesday.
