people expect more from the nfl.hey expect the cap -- the people commissioners, the owners, the players, they expect a very higher level of standard and what we do not hit that, there are consequences for that. charlie: has this experience reminded you of the fact that through adversity, through challenging times where there are people who suffered, you might learn things that might make your institution stronger than if it had not gone through? roger: yes. you also -- always want to avoid that if you can. charlie: it is not fun. roger: it is never fun. you have to say what are the right things to do going forward and we always try to do that. when you do not hit that mark it just remind you that you have to work harder and you have to reach higher. charlie: how did you handle this idea of people who thought that tape of ray rice had to be somehow, maybe you had seen it even though you said you had not. someone else had seen it. maybe they had not. maybe it was lying around. at that time, there were a lot of people w

us. >> shouldn't the public have some sort of ownership of the nfl?> reporter: politicians have tlented to remove the statute to protest the league's domestic violence scandal and the red skin's name controversy. now the nfl has nullified that threat and it's dubious that taxing the league would generate much federal tax revenue. the nfl as an entity separate from its 32 teams has registered multi-million dollars net losses in two of the last three tax years. the status saved the nfl only $10 million per year but tending the status does save the league from having to publicly disclose its tax returns. such disclosure lead to criticism for paying roger goodell a salary of nearly $30 million. they will begin paying taxes in the 2015 fiscal year which began last month. as for other leagues, major league baseball give up its tax exempt status in 2007. >> thank you. >>> a new candidate is expected to join the presidential race today. vermont center bernie sanders is expected to announce he is running as a democrat. he describes him as a democratic socialis

the whole ray rice issue was a microcosm of what's wrong with the nfl.y are completely disconnected from the consequences of this sport they are engaged in. they are socializing young men into a culture of violence. is it at all surprising that you see the kind of corollary social damage surrounding players that we see? not at all surprising. they are off on this 19th century trajectory. it is fundamentally out of touch with the rest of us. emily: your friend and podcast partner bill simmons called be commissioner of the nfl a liar. espn suspended him. was that the right decision? malcolm: it was totally the wrong decision. if a sports columnist in a podcast can't exercise free speech. calling him a liar is not like it came out of nowhere. one reasonable conclusion from the whole ray rice saga is that the commissioner of the nfl knew about the existence of the videotape and was lying about it. i'm not saying that is what he did but it's a reasonable conclusion. i thought that in the course of expressing their opinions, sports columnists are allowed to dr
