The NFL is way too big to fail, but the last few weeks have been a trying time for the Shield. The Ray Rice incident was tough to watch, and there are many questions about a cover up, or why the NFL did not act more appropriately given that Rice told Goodell he hit his wife. The Adrian Peterson issue is also a problem. Some will say that he just disciplined his child. The problem is, Child Abuse Statutes were adopted to protect kids from abusive PARENTS!!!!!!!!! There is a line. One side is discipline, the other is abuse. Whether Peterson knew it or not, what he did is definitely abusive.
The NFL, despite being considered a nonprofit, has limitless money and resources. I am sure they will rectify this situation quickly, but it has definitely been a rough few weeks for the United States' most popular league.
