that's what's been really interesting with all this, lesli. roger goodell has been so harsh on players that break the drug policy, year long suspensions, but now this coming out we haven't heard much about that, but as we've learned over the last few weeks is that these problems run rampant in the nfl. so i think even those higher up the execs in the nfl are trying to figure it all out. drugs was always the focus, but now with all this coming to the forefront, they have to take a hard look what this league stands for and as they move forward, what they do will send a strong message. >> fans just want to talk football. they're done with all this. it's all history.what's done is done. what does the nfl do now moving forward? >> reporter: it is going to be so important the steps they take moving forward. forming this domestic violence task force is a very big step. roger goodell and the nfl need to show they support these kinds of causes. it's one thing to take $1 million of your own salary and donate it to a special cause, but i think doing these spec

. >> leslie, given all your experience on this issue what was your initial reaction to the changes that roger goodell proposed today? >> i view this so much more hopefully and less sinically. i think he said a lot of great things today. the first is he said that the nfl is microo'kozzem of the american society. and he took responsibility at least with words for his role in this. and you know, that's exactly what every single abuser has to do and so few of them do. but the most important thing that he said and that the nfl has done is he admitted they got this wrong because they didn't have women's voices in the debate and the discussion of how to punish ray rice and other players. that's the watershed moment here is that women have become incredibly effective at getting our voices heard using social media and putting pressure on sponsors. that has huge congress questions not just ending domestic violence and rape but for every issue that matters to women in america. there is a lot to be excited about here. >> let me follow up on. that we know the nfl is going to fund two domestic abuse organi

lesli and jan. >>> there's still a little fallout from the ray reissuance dent. >> a lot of people -- ray rice incident. >> a lot of people not too happy with the ray roger goodellas handled the situation. espn has suspended simmons for three weeks after calling goodell a liar during a profanity laced tirade on a podcast. simmons said he thought goodell lied about not knowing what was on that security video that showed ray rice hitting his wife in an elevator and he went a little further than that. he challenged his bosses to punish him and they did. >> he dared them to punish him and now he's gone three weeks. bottom line, bill simmons is not beyond reproach, derek. >> reporter: here's the thing. he warrant on tv. it was a podcast which is a -- he wasn't on tv. it was a podcast which is a little bit of a different thing and i'll also point out that espn pay these guys to be provocative and then they're a little bit surprised when guys aren't quite sure where the lines are. should he have called him a liar? in. that's a slanderous thing to say, but i wonder if they create the monster and then turn around and reward them. >> they're also comparing the kinds of su

leslie bruno. waded to his car. the couple got engaged. >> their first photo as an engaged couple. snapped in the middle of the flood. >> new fallout. espn reporting that ray rice told nfl commissioner rogerll in june he punched his fiance inside the elevator. >> that contradicts goodell's statement to the news he came away from a meeting feeling that would actually happen in the elevator was ambiguous. >> ravens' fans showed up for the last night's game. many expressing their views on their jerseys. most condemned actions but disagreed on punishment. some are supporting it, but losing his job at endorsements is too harsh. >> pepsico the first sponsor to speak out. domestic violence is unacceptable. we are encourage to see the nfl treating this with the seriousness it deserves. >> one ravens' fan tells the "baltimore sun," rather than, the ray rice jerz gsey. >> oscar pistorius in a south african courtroom to hear the verdict in the shooting death of his girlfriend. in a decision that stunned many, the judge has already cleared pistorius from murder. but still faces convict on a lesser charge that could carry a significant prison term. here is abc's lama hasan. >> in the final days of the
