The National Football League’s tumultuous 2014-15 season ended yesterday (Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015) with the New England Patriots’ dramatic Super Bowl victory over the

the NFL, most notably its poor handling of
domestic violence cases.

More than half of players accused of domestic
violence during commissioner Roger Goodell’s tenure have gone without
