wednesday, the owner of hardy's team, jerry richardson, was accepting an award for his business and civicibutions and broke down while addressing the issue of domestic violence. >> when it comes to domestic violen violence, my stance is not one of indifference. i stand firmly against domestic violence, plain and simple. >> but clearly, the nfl's stance on domestic violence is not plain and simple, and neither is the relationship between the league and its fans. we may like to watch, but lately do we really like what we see? we'll have much more on that at the top of the hour. but up next, cash, credit or tap? what if there was a credit card where the reward was that new car smell and the freedom of the open road? a card that gave you that "i'm 16 and just got my first car" feeling. presenting the buypower card from capital one. redeem earnings toward part or even all of a new chevrolet, buick, gmc or cadillac - with no limits. so every time you use it, you're not just shopping for goods. you're shopping for something great. learn more at buypowercard.com trublcovergirl p!nkrfect blend for

hearing from the owners as to their reasoning, why they're saying to their fans, i'm okay, why is jerry richardson in carolina saying to his fans, i'm okay with greg hardy being out there and playing? that's a question i think he has to answer. steve bisciotti from the ravens at least has answered some questions now and has said, we should have looked into this more, we should have done more. so i do think there's accountability, but i think that accountability doesn't just go to the commissioner, it really does go to the owners to start enacting something. roger goodell can say, here's my policy, as he did with the domestic violence policy, but how about these owners, these powerful men taking a stand themselves and speaking out. >> got to hold it there. dana, goldie, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thank you, reverend. >>> coming up, as we mentioned nfl star adrian peterson will play this week after getting indicted for striking his son with a stick. it's sparking a national parenting debate, how far is too far? >>> and president obama's campaign to defeat the terrorist group i
