i'm not the only one upset over roger goodell's brand of justice.oodell needs to explain this even though it probably won't quell the outrage. cnn legal analyst sonny hostin and michelle turner. andy, i want to start with you. because the online outrage has been astounding. people are very angry including lots of men. >> as they should be. female audience for the nfl has gained. who are the true loyal fans? it is mainly males. i think the men outrage has been so much because men know what players get suspended for traditionally for an illegal hit, smoking pot. but only suspending ray rice for two games the nfl is basically saying smoking weed or illegal hit on the field is a worse crime than basically an uppercut punch to a woman which is just outrageous. >> it is insane. michelle, when you heard about this what went through your mind? >> huh? that is what went through my mind like seriously, you think about it. andy is right. if you get popped in the nfl for steroids you get a minimum of four games. i think this actually lends to a hypocritical sit

kids who could have lost their lives submitted letters and they submitted those in letters to roger goodellsave my life. so there's a lot of reasons why goodell went two games. >> he gave it a lot of thought and a lot of support foray rice. if you look at this, this is an nfl player and even if provoked by a woman spitting or slapping him, to say that he is a victim as well in some people's minds a lot of people are saying are you kidding me? >> absolutely. this is a player who can bench 300 pounds and he laid not only a hand but a pinky on a girl who is only 100 pounds. at the end of the day it's wrong. he should never have even touched her. where i stand on this, i feel the nfl failed us as a society. as shocked as i am and as much as i can sit here and tell you what a good guy ray rice is at the end of the day nfl should have given him six games. reduced down to four probably. the nfl would have made a statement because domestic violence, alex, is bigger than the ravens, bigger than ray rice and the nfl failed. >> let me read the statement that we did get from the nfl because you spoke t

and, you know, roger goodell said that -- reports have come out saying roger goodell, the reason he gave lesser suspension, he spoke to janae rice and she advocated on behalf of her husband, as you would expect her to do. if he would have known about this larger dynamic and how it plays out, that's not necessarily a reason not to -- he knocked her out in an elevator. i mean this isn't, you know, a first time offense for shoplifting, a first time offense for pot smoke something one thing but committing an act of violence that renders someone unconscious is different. >> jane, to that point, the ravens' team basically said -- tried to say this was a one-time thing. it's a big one-time thing. let's talk more about this. is it that ball matters more than anything because i am going to ask you, if ray rice weren't ray rice. in he were a lesser player, do you think he would have been cut? >> i don't think so. because first of all, he didn't have a great year last year. second of all, i think more what kind of was in his favor was some of the community service stuff he has done. he has been pre

is growing, both online and in the media. >> roger goodell is not only married, but he has two daughters. and for the life of me, i'm trying to figure out how he does he explain to his daughters what he just did? >> reporter: that's because this video of rice is so disturbing. tmz sports got hold of this surveillance video taken inside an atlantic city casino last february. the all-pro super bowl winning running back hovering over and then dragging his then-girlfriend, now wife, unconscious out of an elevator after he punched her in the face. consider these other nfl punishments. steroid use is an automatic four-game suspension. one player suspended three games for a bar fight. and one rookie got a five-game suspension for taking freebies in college. even ravens fans say rice's punishment didn't go far enough. >> i don't think he should be necessarily kicked off the team, but i think a harsher punishment should have been given. >> reporter: three other nfl players have been arrested over the last year for assaulting their wives or girlfriends. rice appeared with his wife at this press co

but at the press conference nfl commissioner roger goodell made some news by opening up the possibility of the raiders sharing the facility. kaepernicking tatoo 49ers fan michele jensen sent colin kaepernick a couple of photos of his new upper-back tattoo via twitter on this morning. in addition of the image of the quarterback kissing his bicep, jensen added the words "faith in kap." kaepernick retweeted the photo. bill russell collapses but is okay he was telling the story of of his great rival well as in berlin when he starred sway and fell backwards. good news is he is filling a lot better and could return to his home tomorrow. 11-time nba champion and oakland native bill russell is doing ok after collapsing during a speaking engagement near lake tahoe. russell was telling a story about wilt chamberlain to a roomful of konica minolta employees when he started to sway at the podium and then fell backward. the 80-year-old felt faint after the morning fall at the hyatt regency resort in incline village, but was planning on returning home this evening. according to a new harris poll. leb

look out for the brand of the nfl, and roger goodell didn't do that. >> you know, back when goodell started in 2006, he promised to clean up the nfl. there was that "time" magazine cover with him on the front. "the enforcer." how would you characterize goodell's rein so far, especially as it pertains to things like this? >> well, i think that he probably, and deservedly so, got the reputation as the sort of law and order commissioner. we saw there was obviously a pattern. you look at ben roethlisberger. again, that's another case. ben roethlisberger was never charged formally with anything, but he got a four-game suspension because that was that embarrassment and bringing negative publicity to the brand of the nfl. and i just feel like that he's always creating, roger goodell, a slippery slope with a lot of these punishments. there is no -- sometimes there appears to be no rhyme or reason to them. while he is among one of the more powerful commissioners in sports, i just feel as if that he's had some major questions to answer, be it about personal safety and concussions or about things like

. >> reporter: but commissioner roger goodell in a letter to rice wrote, we simply cannot tolerate conduct that endangers others or reflects negatively on our game. this is particularly true with respect to domestic violence and other forms of violence against women. >> you don't hit on women. you don't hit on people. period. >> reporter: but how, critics ask today, could the league that suspends players four games for infractions like testing positive for marijuana, hand down only two games for assault. >> this is a commissioner who in most cases over punishes. why would he underpunish? >> reporter: and the decision lit up social media. ravens fan lindsay hamilton tweeted, i love the ravens, but the nfl punishment for ray rice sends the message that domestic violence isn't a big deal. should be ashamed. >> this is the kind of outcome that can alienate female fans and can alienate male fans who look at this and say, wait a minute, this isn't the kind of punishment that should arise for this kind of behavior. >> reporter: another headache for a league that has had plenty of them lately. wil

as commissioner roger goodell said, you can feel the difference here. levi's stadium represents the cutting edge of design thinking. the sold-out lounges are sleek with lots of naturally sourced local wood. glass, metal and stone round out the modern look. for those lucky enough to be in the brocade lounge, the players will walk through here before taking to the field giving high fives and fist bumps along the way. the concourses are 60-plus feet across, three times wider than candlestick. gourmet kitchens will cook most of the locally sourced food from scratch with more live fire stoves and pizza ovens than any other stadium in the world. more than 100 cash registers and points of sale means shorter waits to pay for your food. it's also the greenest stadium in the nfl. the solar panels will generate all the power needed for all 10 home games. >> what i think is usually the successful recipe for great facilities is when they reflect the communities that they are a part of. and this does. the sustainability, the technology, those are things that are so m

and commissioner roger goodell is impressed.er goodell/nfl commissioner >> it is the first pro football stadium in california since the '80s. a lot of people work so hard to make this happen. in terms of fan experience, the stadium design eliminates the traditional club mezzanine level, which will bring fans in the upper deck lower to the field. concourses are three times wider than those at candlestick and there are 100 more concessions. the first level features open pedestrian plazas, retail, museum, art collection fantasy football lounge and way more stuff than former santa clara city councilman kevin moore could have imagined when he wrote that letter years ago suggesting that the 49ers might just want to come to santa clara. kevin moore/former city councilman >> it is great to see santa clara celebrate this. lost angeles does not even have one of these. other highlights include scoreboards that can be seen for 100 miles at night, a rooftop solar garden with re- cycled water and 25,000 parking spaces within walking distance

espn reports smith will meet with roger goodell after the team's first exhibition game next thursday. that meeting set to take place in new york, the next day after the niners play -- and are practicing nearby in baltimore. smith could be suspended after he pleaded no-contest to dui charges earlier this month and was ordered to serve 11 days on a work crew. he could also face disciplinarian action for possession of illegal assault rifles. smith did not attend practice yesterday, because he was in los angeles, meeting with the city attorney's office there. the meeting was required in lieu of facing charges for a false bomb report at a los angeles international airport. maybe he should just chill out. >>> the big debut for levi stadium saturday. the game apparently already sold out. the earthquakes say the 49ers allowed them to sell 44,000 tickets to the game against the seattle sounders. that's about two-thirds full. yesterday, the quakes actually said they had about a thousand tickets left. we checked online this morning, and ticket master says no more tickets. this will be the first

>> reporter: in about seven hours, 49 erts team own -- 49ers team owner will join roger goodell along with representatives from the city of santa clara and levi to cut ribbon on this brand new football stadium here in the heart of silicon valley. something that we've all seen go up from the very beginning when this was just an empty lot, now you have this gianormous facility. you think back when there were rumbl rumbles, the thought was matter hunter's point, then someone mentioned santa clara and the first reaction generally was, yeah right. then the team started talking with the city and when the city of san francisco couldn't come up with a better alternative, it became clear to the 49ers were going to do what at the time was the unthinkable and move out of san francisco to the south bay. of course there were hurtles here, namely parking, especially when you've got great america right next door. and then four years ago, voters here passed measure j to help fund supposed to be a $937 million stadium, the price tag guy to $1.2 billion giving fans a state of the art facility that can

whatever was said in that meeting apparently influenced roger goodell to potentially lower this punishmentre's a lot that we don't know about here. i'm not saying that means this was an appropriate punishment or the right punishment for ray rice, but we actually don't have all the facts as we sit here talking about this. >> i would say on my earlier broadcast, we had a sports writer come on and talk about how, i believe what was seen in that video was something akin to she was slapping him and spit at him and that prompted his response. does anyone, though, rob, buy the response by this guy, a pro nfl player? come on. the force with which he went after her, regardless of what she did to incite him. >> i don't think anyone believes that it is acceptable for someone like a ray rice, as big, as strong a man as he is, to hit and obviously knock out a woman based on whatever the provocation was. but when she talks about her quote/unquote role in this situation, well, that's what she's talking about, is whatever was said and done in that elevator that clearly, you know, created a situation that

as a matter of fact, the nfl commissioner roger goodell has taken an awful lot of heat for what some consider to be a relatively light suspension. a highly regarded official i talked with said compared to other suspensions, a first-time offender using performance-enhancing drugs, a four-game suspension. michael vick engaged in dog fighting an indefinite suspension. ben roth less burger accused of sexual assault but not convicted, initially a six-game suspension reduced to four. >> pelley: but the ravens' coach is standing behind rice. >> scott, he was pretty philosophical about the matter but at the end of the day he stood by his player. >> consequences when you make a mistake like, that i stand behind ray. he's a heck of a guy. he makes a mistake. he will have to pay a consequence. it's good for kids to understand it works that way. that's how it works. that's how it should be. >> noteworthy, scott the push-back has been strong from women and men who say the league missed an opportunity to send a much stronger signal about domestic violence. >> pelley: james brown of the "nfl today.

the commissioner roger goodell was there flanked by the construction workers that put it all together. they were joined by gm balky, player jim harbaugh as well as the ceo jed york. >> levi's stadium is really a representation of the best of the bay area. whether it's sustainability, technology, food, wine, being outdoors, seeing unbelievable views, and it's the best stadium in the world for the best fans. >> meanwhile, joe staley will likely be a 49er for life, signing a two-year extension that will keep him in a red and gold uniform through 2019. staley had four years remaining on the extension that he signed in '09. the terms were not immediately known. staley put pen to paper in style. 49ers sent out a tweet announcing the news. staley all smiles with a fashionable feather pen. >>> and finally, to a different kind of 49ers inc.ing. super fan michelle jenson keeping up with her kaptat. hopefully that is not a jinx. and that's it for sports. raj and jess, jess, you may not know i have a tattoo of raj mathai on my back. >> i'm sorry. >> i know. >> we can take care of that. >> i don't
