number of player abuse cases grows and calling for roger goodell's resignation are getting louder. ahead of tonight's monday night show down between the eagles and colts. ultra violent is planning to take their message to the sky. flying banners over the stadium reading goodell must go as it did over the game yesterday. meanwhile ray rice is facing a deadline to appeal his indefinite nate suspension by 11: 59 tomorrow night. they're not commenting until after an appeal is filed. peter alexander has more. citing multiple sources nbc sports is reporting ray rice will appeal his suspension today. there's another game scheduled for tonight. and right now the nfl is dealing with four high profile domestic abuse cases that are overshadowing the game. >> he will kick off the 49ers

won the toss. >> with the 49ers debuting a brand new billion dollar stadium sunday night. t he's not been charged with a crime. the nfl's em battled commissioner promised in 2012 he would attend the game but no show sunday night. nbc news check of the irs filing shows the league rewarded goodell with $97 million in compensation from 2008 through 2012. 44 million in 2012 alone. this weekend a reversal by the carolina panthers who benched their star defensive end who was convicted in july of assaulting and threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend. a decision hardie is appealing. he didn't play but he got paid $772,000. also out, minnesota vikings star

adrian pettersson accused of injury to a child while disciplining his son. fuelling pressure on the league social media like the image of a ad photoshopped on twitter mocking the brand's tagline get your game face on. ray rice who sparked the violence showed up at the high school's football game accompanied by his wife and daughter. among the voices questioning the nfl's integrity in the wake of the tmz sports video, espn hannah storm. >> if they had to see that video to be moved to significant action, shouldn't those support the league demand the same to see action? to see change before believing? >> that outrage is not receivin

group tells me they plan to be back next week. >> joining me now president of the national organization for women terri o'neal asports illustrated. let's start with the news that ray rice plans to appeal at 11: 59 p.m. is the deadline here. i've heard a couple of fans say it was double jeopardy. he was given the two game suspension and after the video the league repunished him. do we believe that's what he plans to state in this appeal? >> i think that he does plan to state that also point out the inconsistency. one of the amazing things about this about the nfl the various cases there is a great deal of inconsistency. the nfl came out with a policy saying a six game suspension for first offense then a lifetime one year to lifetime ban after wards. and they were horrified by the video. they are reacting to it. that makes sense i parentally but it doesn't hold water in a legal sense.

i think he has ground to say i'm being treated differently than other people. it doesn't mean we forgive or think anything well of what ray rice did. he has some ground. >> the nfl player association said they won't comment until the appeal is filed. it said in apart a spokesperson said they will not comment, as mentioned. if the union believes a player's rights were violated we're obligate to pursue the game. it doesn't mean we agree but it means we have to protect the rights of our members. what rights as far as keeping his job are they referring to with ray rice? >> well, the personal comment policy is very vague. >> explain that to people who don't understand. >> basically a policy which said that -- i should say that the policy applies to players, coaches, officials, and the commissioner that you have to maintain a certain personal conduct that doesn't stain or violate the integrity of the

league. it gives pretty wide berth for what the commissioner can do. that said, there has to be reason he hasn't been charged with a felony ray rice. and you have to make a case that said you can enact the punishment you want to act. other players playing such as greg hardy not suspended it was only the team that stopped him from playing. that's what rice is going to harp on. >> terry, let me bring you in. one of the stories that was filed women who attended the ravens game and supported -- some of them, supporting ray rice. i've heard from people today that support adrian peterson. we'll talk about that in a second. for those watching the image, obviously, women are not -- we have our viewpoints. we see life through perhaps our prism of travel on our life's journey. with that said what is your reaction when you see female fans especially who say, you

know, cut some slack here. i just don't fault female fans at all. football is a wonderful sport. and the fans want to be able to watch great football. it is not the responsibility of any fan to respond appropriately to domestic violence within the nfl. that would be roger goodell's responsibility. so goodell has had 50 opportunities to respond appropriately. the first thing that he should say whenever an incident of domestic violence is reported to him is what are we doing to keep her safe? is she safe? is the victim safe? you can sort through the accountability in due time. there's a legal process for that. clearly everyone who commits an act needs to be held accountable for their act. where is roger goodell's concrete steps to keep the victims safe? i'm not seeing it anywhere. >> what do you say concrete steps to keep the victims safe. what do you mean?

what should he have done? >> you can have safe plans. there can be counselling for a victim. there can be supervised visitation if the victim is young. there's a lot of ways to keep -- >> is that appropriate for the informal to get involved that degree? you have child protective services in the case of adrian peterson allegations and you have prosecutors, police, and lawmakers who are supposed to follow through and protect victims. is that the nfl's responsibil y responsibility? >> i think it is. the nfl is a different employer from most employers. wives and families of the nfl have are expected to participate in the success of the enterprise. that's just great. there's other employers where it's true as well. for example, the united states military. in both cases you have people within the nfl community, if those people in that commune try at risk. the leader of that community,

roger goodell has a responsibility. >> let me ask you about the prosecution involved in re rye's case. there was a report in the state of new jersey somewhere around 3500 cases have been filed. fewer than 1% receive the probation program. i think it was around 30 cases that received the deal. it wasn't a plea agreement the deal that rice was offered. are you calling for the prosecutor or the police who investigated this to speak up and perhaps face repercussions. let's look at the prosecutor's history. does the prosecutor have an uneven response to domestic violence that comes across the way the nfl has a hugely uneven response? the other questions i would want to know is what were the prosecutor's interactions with the nfl's defense lawyers, other

lawyers, with the pr people. what were all the interactions on the part of the executives within the nfl with the prosecutor. what did they talk about? when did they meet. did anybody -- was anybody in the meetings who was advocating for the safety? who spoke to janay palmer-rice's doctor. were they doing anything to prbl protect the victim or were they in defense lawyer mode just protecting the perpetrator. >> i have to switch to chris carter's reaction to peterson's case yesterday. let me play and get your thoughts. let me play what chris carter said yesterday. >> it goes across all racial lines, ethnicity, religious background. people believe in disciplining their children. people with any type of christian background, they really believe in disciplining their children. my mom did the best job she could do.

raising seven kids by herself. but there are a thousands of things i have learned since then that my mom was wrong. >> yes, thank you. >> it's the 21st century. my mom was wrong she did the best she was could but she was wrong about some of the stuff she caught me. i promised my kid i won't teach that mess to them. you can't be beat the kid. >> thank you. >> thousands of things we have learned since then. and now we're to the point the only thing i'm proud about is the team that played for. they did the right thing. take them off the field. i don't care -- we're in a climate right now. i don't care what it is. take them off the field. >> you have a dual track here. you have the chris krarter image of the nfl and other players who were on the panel saying that's right. and then you have the mug shot image that people associate with the nfl. what do you make of that moment for chris?

>> i think it was a powerful moment. it was an honest moment. i think people who -- for many people who saw the accusations against pettersson and he admitted what he did for 4-year-old child that strikes you in a certain way that as it struck chris carter that goes beyond any sort of thinking about it and, you know, one disapproves and revolted by that. the core of what is happening in all these cases is the people are responding in a very visceral, emotional way as we should be. there are lives being affected. we talk about what will the legal team co. what will their option. of course we talk about that. but what is at the core here is people's lives are being affected by men who have made serious mistakes and violent mistakes. and they happen to be they represent the nfl. again, we should point out we're not just talking about the nfl is 2500 players more or less.

it's a former league mvp in adrian peterson and super bowl mvp in ray rice. they are examples whether they want to be or not. it's why we're all shuddering, the nation is shuddering in this way about what is happening. >> thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank you both. developing now secretary of state john kerry in paris right now meeting with world leaders about how to combat isis. it comes days before he is set to testify before congress about the president's strategy and thousands of people are hunkered down in mexico as the strongest storm to ever hit mexico's baja california peninsula makes land fall. we have the latest on hurricane odile's track. plus. >> in my opinion, it's not a crime to be fully clothed, showing affection on a public street in our own car. >> in cuffs and in tears. an actress who appeared in the movie jang koe unchained after

her boyfriend said she was accused of being a prosecute. join our conversation online. you can find my team at "newsnation." when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me. [ female announcer ] boost complete nutritional drink has 26 essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium and vitamin d to support strong bones and 10 grams of protein to help maintain muscle. all with a delicious taste. grandpa! [ female announcer ] stay strong, stay active with boost. that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. grandpa! especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis...

for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you.

a developing now secretary of state john kerry is in paris for an international conference on how to confront the threat from isis. in all 30 nations are attending the one-day meeting including some 10 arab states. in a statement issued several hours ago the country's taking part pledge to fight isis by, quote, any means necessary. the conference comes after the terror group released the video of execution of british aid worker david hans who had been held hostage for a year and a half. his brother said hanes was most

alive in his role as a humanitarian. >> we hoped, we prayed in our own way. unfortunately it was not in our hand. it was not the hands of the government. it was in the hands of terrorists. my first reaction could be one of hatred. my brother's life wasn't about hay tritd. it was about love for all men. >> more on the international effort to combat isis and the u.s. battle plan chief correspondent richard i think gel has the latest from turkey. >> secretary of state kerry said the coalition is working. it's being built and that dozens of nations are signing up to join. the iraqi president today calls directly for air strikes in syria. france launching surveillance missions with flighter jets over syria. so something seems to be afoot. the question is what happens next? we are not hearing a lot of

clarity about that. there are many different visions for what syria and iraq are supposed to look like the morning after the air strikes begin. right now, tamron, if were air strikes were to start targeting isis militants in syria in particular, the strongest force on the ground to move in and take territory is not the rebel army of the free syrian army. the so called moderate rebels the u.s. is promising to support after not supporting them for three years. instead the strongest force on the ground take territory after air strikes would be the government of assad which is backed by iran and hezbollah. that is not exactly the vision that the united states is selling at this peace conference at the isis conference maybe even a war conference you can describe it in paris. joining me now washington post correspondent in paris covering the international conference on isis. thank you for joining us. as you heard richard describe it, it can be called a war

conference that is taking place there. we know it's the arab nations that are critical here. what is the tone coming from them right now? >> well, this conference actually is -- was it comes at an interesting time. it's in between the start of kerry and president obama before and beginning to line up the coalition publicly, and before many of these countries meet again the united nations general assembly starting next week. it was supposed to be a launching off point for what might happen at the united nations they will be discussing the issue of foreign fighters primarily among other things. what is come together here today is a better look at the division of labor among the nations with sunni arab states stepping forward and saying if not publicly at the conference then to u.s. officials privately they would be willing to run air strikesed in iraq. as richard alluded to, the more

complicated question is whether any of those countries would be willing to do so in syria. the united states is expected to expand to syria, but hasn't announced yet when or technically if they're going do so. >> and ann, these talks take place as we know with the new video released by isis over the weekend. some described it as a taunt against the world. egging on or beckoning the world to act here. what has been your reaction, at least from the leaders and their representatives there? >> well, there's a, you know, there's horror, sk and the british foreign secretary is here with many of the colleagues and will join them next week. as the british prime minister said yesterday it's an astault on the legal and moral norms of the world. and that's the stance that all

countries are taking including many countries that don't ordinarily see eye 0 to scato e. they're patching things over in common opposition to the islamic state militants. >> in prior reports over the weekend, richard engel noted concerns regarding turkey and that key ally because isis currently holds turkish diplomats and the fear is they will start executing those individuals to send a message to turkey of the dangers of aligning with this group or this coalitio coalition. >> yeah. turkey is in a terrible position. it's a border state to syria. almost 40 of its diplomats are being held in iraq by militants who overran the turkish

consulate in june. it's not clear what the militants plan to do with them. clearly the beheading everyones have everyone nervous. we'll remember that turkey denied u.s. requests to use the major air base and other military infrastructure for the iraq war, and the big question now is will or can turkey be a military participant in this coming military expansion inside iraq and potentially in syria. >> thank you so much for your time. congress is expected to vote as early as tomorrow to authorize $500 million to train and support the syrian rebels to help in the battle against isis. defense secretary chuck hagel and joint chief of staff martin dempsey are set to testify before the senate armed services committee on the threat from isis. and thursday secretary of state kerry is expected to testify before the house foreign affairs

committee. elliot engel is the democrat joins us live. thank you so much for your time. >> my pleasure. >> what are the key things you need to hear from secretary kerry? >> i think he has to lay out a compelling case for u.s. intervention and tell the members of the committee how he sees moving forward. i think president obama made a compelling case when he spoke to the american people. i personally am in favor of aiding the free syrian army for a couple of years now. i'm glad we're doing it. i think it's the only choice we have. there are bad -- only bad choices left, but the worst choice would be to do nothing and i think we're doing something. i support what the president is trying to do. >> let me play what lindsey graham what he said regarding the president's plan for defeating isis. he said it's not good enough. here is what he said. >> we're fighting a terrorist

army not an organization. it's going to take an army to beet an army. the idea will never have any boots on the ground it defeat in syria. it's fantasy to destroy isil what i was told, or what i heard in your interview won't even come close to destroy isil. it's delusional in the way they approach this. >> i want to get your reaction to senator graham. we also know that none of the arab nices agreed to put boots on the ground. to hear senator graham said the idea of not putting boots on the ground is delusional. what is your reaction? >> i think we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. we have to take it one step at the time. there will be air strikes and other things we're going to do. it's imperative that we get the arab states as partners working with us. this cannot be seen as a western invasion of another country for regime change. we don't want to what we had in

iraq where we had all the boots on the ground. it's a different situation now. i think we should continue along the plan and see what brings us. down the road if we need to shift or change we'll do it. but i don't think we need to talk about boots on the ground right now. >> elliot engel, thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. come up more politics. hillary clinton returns to iowa. >> hello, iowa! [ cheers and applause ] i'm back! clinton dropping hints about a presidential run but is her playing coy wearing thin with some potential supporters? >> hillary clinton is too closely aligned with the banking industry and i think she's not inspiring enough.

welcome back. hillary clinton returns to iowa for the first time since her huge primary loss to then candidate barack obama seven years ago. clinton alongside her husband former president was in the state for senator tom harkin's annual steak fry traditional stop for presidential hopefuls. [ cheers and applause ] >> well, it is true, i am thinking about it. but for today that's not why i'm here. i'm hear for the steak >>well, 5,000 democratic activists showed up to hear clinton speak. as nbc andrea mitchell found out in des moines many are not convinced that clinton is the

candidate for them. >> i'm looking for someone a little bit more liberal. more on the edge and pushing some important issues like climate change and campaign finance reform and income inequality. >> i think people see kind of the cronyism on wall street and, i mean, her biggest supporters is wall street and, you know, she's currently on the circuit giving speaks to goldman sachs. joining me now live nbc news editor mark murray. thank you for your time. it's good to hear from people there and the latest poll of iowa democrats. this was september 8th through 10 shows hillary clinton 53%. joe biden 15, elizabeth warren. we'll play a little bit of this morning how the clintons are playing this thinking i'm here for the state >>well, you know if you want to

run. if you want to run. get out there and save america. stop playing your stupid political games because more people are out of work and if they do have jobs, they have two or three crappy jobs. so rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. we have to roll up our sleeves and get in business. if you are not going to run, get the hell out of the way. >> apparently so firy they couldn't wait to play it. go ahead. you can comment. >> yeah. it's still incredibly early. we have an election 50 days from now in the midterms. you're not going to see anyone declare their presidential aspirations. there's a different way i've been interpreting the remarks. it what she said yesterday. she's going in. there's no point of no return. she wouldn't be iowa wouldn't be saying i'm going to be chatting with you guys later. i'll have a decision about 2016 for the future. that is somebody who is not going to go to people and say,

you know, forget about it. i'm not running at all. she's given everyone every indication she's going setting up a residential campaign but not certainly done so. because the campaign doesn't start in earnest until next career. >> talk about the comments from what we call the younger voters out there. particularly those that are fascinated with elizabeth warren and what she can bring to the conversation. some of the chinks in the armor may be exposed regarding her thoughts on wall street as they relate to hillary clinton if she decides to run. >> one of the challenges for hillary clinton there's those types of voices. even the minor tip. there was one of the poll shows hillary clinton with a big lead. our nbc poll in iowa in july showed that in iowa hillary clinton had a 50 point advantage over the sitting vice president joe biden. 70% to 20%. even 89% of democrats had a favorable view of her. just 6 percent of democrats of iowa had an unfavorable view.

you're going find the minority voices. she would be the overwhelming favorite in the democratic race even if it included elizabeth warren and joe biden and that is the reality of the democratic field so far, tamron. >> thank you, mark, for your time. we appreciate it. coming up we're following developing news out of pennsylvania where a massive manhunt is underway for the gunman who shot and killed a state trooper. it's one of the stories we're following around the "newsnation." in today's gut check the u.s. air force denies a sergeant's request to reenlist so he won't say the words so help me god in the oath. i'll talk to the attorney representing the man.

refused show id and walked away. officers stopped and cuffed her. overnight tmz posted audio unverified by nbc news of the incident. >> somebody called which gives me the right to be here. >> do you know how many times the cops have been called i'm black and he is right. >> who brought up a race card. i said nothing. >> the police if they have reasonable us is us is suspicion can detain the name until they can get the name. it's the difference between an arrest andingi someone. >> hours after the audio the incident was posted to tmz. danielle and her boyfriend appeared on cnn where they defended her refusal to show

out the active duty oath of enlistment dropped that option. joining me now an attorney for the american association which has taken up the service-member's case. thank you for your time. greatly appreciate it. >> happy to be here. is there something that is subject to interpretation here? the u.s. today points out they said it's a required part of the oath spelled out in the rules that govern military reenlistment. does it apply across the entire military? >> actually, it's our understanding that it's only the air force that is imposing this requirement on service-members. it's our understanding that the other branchs are correctly interpreting the relevant policies and statutes. >> this sergeant you are representing, what has he said? i'm obviously -- this is a tough decision for him. he wants to reenlist. he wants to serve again, but he

has his core believes. >> that's correct. his options really are, you know, either forego his religious freedoms and sign this reenlistment with the words or stand up for his rights which is what he's doing. and if necessary we'll have to bring a lawsuit. >> the air force times reports the air force cannot make these so help me god reference in the oath optional unless congress changes the statute mandating the oath. is that accurate, to your knowledge? >> we disagree completely with that. in fact, the statute can reasonably be interpreted as having the words be optional. the air force is charged with implementing the ability of congress. if they need to implement it in a way that comports with the constitution which has been interpreted by a number of courts saying you can't require a service-member or any person running for public office or is being employed by the government to say, you know, they swear to a god they don't believe in. >> the air force is asking to review the rule.

but what do you see as the options here? >>, i mean, i think that the weight of the law is on our side. i would find it to be very surprising if they don't allow our client to proceed without saying the words. like i said, we'll bring a lawsuit if they come down the other way. >> monica, with thank you so much for your time. we hope to talk with your client and you if it's resolved. what does your gut tell you? as you heard the air force times reports it cannot may be the change change or omission of the so help me god without congress. that congress needs to change the statute which mandates the oath. should congress change the statute requiring men and women to say so help me god in the military oath. go to "newsnation" msnbc.com. president obama will honor who men who served in vietnam with the highest medal of honor.
