what i want to do to practice this conversation, is carol johnson here somewhere? is that they pretty much relate to the breakout groups that we will put you in later. last year i tried a different thing, to apply location, and it did not work at all. we are going back to the way that we did it at all. i am notorious, and bought it -- and will try not to swear up here. obviously, we will be asking you again about your job and what you do daily. i will be asking you to go on to a breakout room. but we want to focus on is what audrey mentioned earlier, the creative content, the experience. we did not call this a safety summit for a reason. we are now moving on. well, patrons' safety is super important. we will be talking about that in the breakout session for security. in that break out section we will hopefully have -- hello. talking about guard cards, we are running around the city telling people they need one and we want you all to know why. we brought the authority on that, and a few other folks, to talk to you about that. i imagine there will be a lot of uniform

carol. it's not the first chiefs player. former chiefs player larry johnson multiple times for domestic violence issues. one of those that led to his dismissal from the team in years past. you're right about that. but i think that it does lend to a bigger issue because we do hear about this and we have been talking about this because it is a football player and the national football league but we hear the story so many times, we hear it almost night on the news but it's seven minutes in to a broadcast and then we continue on. here's a statistic, though, that i was hearing and just really stuck with me. in recent years according to the bureau of justice, 33% of female murder victims were murdered by someone they were intimate with as opposed to 4% of men. now the numbers in the nfl aren't as startling but what i do think is interesting is that in this offseason, the commissioner said his two most important issues going forward with players this season would be cutting down on the duis and cutting down on domestic violence. >> you know, and just another note be
