With criticism of the NFL spreading across the land last week, the league is beginning to take steps to slow it down in Washington.
According to Mike Allen of Politico.com, the NFL is about to announce the hiring of outside advisers and counselors to help with their domestic violence problem.
Much in the same way they retained independent neurologists and added staff to fight the concussion issue, the added manpower should at least pacify those on Capitol Hill who are beginning to creep into their business.
The report also says the league plans to add to staff for compliance and training, and will include domestic violence awareness in its high school and college level educational programs.
A league official said the moves are a sign the NFL is “doing everything we can to earn the trust of our fans and the community, on and off the field.”
It may be too late to repair all of that, after the worst week in the league’s history.
But at this stage, any step forward is a positive one.
