if there is one thing we have seen from roger goodell, he knows who pays his $44 million a year salary. >> the league is are canning a new rule that would personalize the use of the n word and other racial slurs on the field. but there has been resistance to the rule from many african americans. backlash? >> see, first of all this is the pesh example of what i was talking about before. here is ownership saying we want to discipline and control how players speak to each other on the field but they don't say a word about the racial slur that you brands the team where i live right here in washington, d.c. in fact, rajjel goodell has gone out of his way to support that particular racial slur because that would be about disciplining ownership and not players. i am not surprised players have spoken out against it not just for the obvious basic first amendment freedom of speech reasons but because it presents a specter of an ownership. there are no black owners in the n.f.l. 31 of the 32 ownership entities are white. kahn is a middle eastern gentleman who owns the jacksonville jaguars but you

does the coach get on the phone with roger goodell?sort this out later? what happens behind the scenes? >> well, of course we went through this with the super bowl situation. a lot of it you're doing it in the dark. you don't have a lot of information. you get it second hand. until you get it firsthand you will work in conjunction with the local authorities. one thing we came back to is well, let the process play itself out. and everybody needs to look and see the facts. in the ray lewis situation, the atlanta district attorney would have been well served to see what the facts are before they actually charged ray lewis. and i imagine this is a situation where you need to see a lot of facts gathered before anybody can draw any conclusion as to what happened. >> if you were coaching, what would you be thinking right now? what would you do? >> well, unfortunately, when you get that late night call in the middle of the night and i have two daughters. and your first thought is where are in kids? they were both at home. you knew it was not g

roger goodell was asked that on friday at his state of the league address. he said it's gone well. he is not sure what the next step is but i think most league observers believe the league is to relocate a team, it would be more apt to be in london than los angeles. >> let me ask you, john henry. do you foresee maybe the super bowl ever being played outside of the united states? >> i think daniel hit the nail on the head when he talked about london. london, the n.f.l. ant it'spates about 4 million people watching the super bowl in london. there is interest over there. as daniel kaplan just mentioned roger goodell said multiple times in the past, he is not going to put a super bowl in london unless there is a chan tries there, something that it sounds like there is where withall. putting one over there would raise some problems. the n.f.l. likes to start these games about 6:25 in the evening when they figure this is maximum viewership. if you do that, that's 11:25 in london. they would have to do a little adjusting. >> let me ask you: what sporting event internationally pass as the

today sent a letter to the nfl commissioner, roger goodell, calling goodell to, quote, take a former position in support of a name change. they go on to say that the national football league can no longer ignore this, and perpetuate the use of this name as anything but what it is. a racial slur. brian todd is with me here. we're watching this. so what is the league's position, first of all, on the name of the team? >> the league has kind of gone back and forth, wolf, saying they understand the criticism, understand the sensitive feelings. but that this is a team name that's been around for 80 years and that we have to at least respect that. but this letter from senator mar maria cantwell, she's a democrat, he's a republican, does ratchet up the pressure on the redskins to at least hear people out and do something about the name. interesting, you read part of the letter there. but another part is really kind of slamming the nfl, saying it's clear that you haven't heard the leading voices of this country. it says the nfl is on the wrong side of history. now, contacted by cnn, the nfl t

the weather is so not an issue at this point that roger goodell the nfl commissioner was in a notiono joke about it friday morning. >> one focus for this year's super bowl has been on the weather. of course we cannot control the weather.

[laughter] folks it's not just the extra points. there's talk the kick off will eventually be eliminated. come on, how can you, i agree, how can you even call it if nobody touches the ball with their foot. [applause] that is right. that's the subway calling their sandwich a foot long if they didn't use their feet to make it. and most importantly, place kicker was the last nfl position available to lumpy middle-aged white guys. luckily there still might be a place for me. championship quarterback. i mean how hard could it be. you put your hands between some guy's legs and scream. welcome to my daily staff meeting. meeting.

( applause ). >> stephen: because that statement-- ( cheers and applause ) that statement was so rambling, he had to be high. folks, this is reefer madness. after hitting the prescription pipe, players won't want to hit their opponents anymore. they'll just incapacitate each other with mind-blowing science facts.

and of course roger goodell refused to answer it. to what he said in response to that great question, imagine roger goodell using the word "redskins" where he uses the words "native americans." >> jim, i've been spending the last year talking to many of the leaders in the native american communities. we are listening. we are trying to make sure we understand the issues. let me remind you, this is the name of a football team. a football team that's had that name for 80 years and has presented the name in a way that has honored native americans. >> and so there is the nfl defender in chief, afraid to use the name of his team when talking about the people the name refers to. the best thing i read about this on twitter today was something i hadn't actually thought of myself but is a brilliant last word on this subject for tonight. and that last word came from bridgesing, who said, "why don't supporters of the name say redskins shouldn't be offended instead of native americans shouldn't be offended?" [ female announcer ] what's a powerful

roger goodell doesn't like turmoil. he doesn't like untidy things.rmoil and untidy written all over it. >> the nfl already has poses in place supposed to limit or disallow any of this kind of behavior. if you read the rules, all of the stuff is against the rules. what's obviously going on here is that those rules are not being enforced or taken seriously. the players and coaching staff are not familiar enough with those rules. that's what the nfl has to look at next is how to implement those rules better. also has to look inside the dolphins organization. because supposedly, you had a head coach in joe philbin who didn't know any of this was going on. that is a little bit hard to believe. but let's say that you take that as fact. that's really almost as trouble. how does this guy not know what's going on inside of his locker room. >> jonathan martin wants to play football next year. it doesn't seem like it will be with the dolphins. be honest . if he were to go to another team, how do you think he would be received by the players on that other team?

. >> reporter: and it just so happened that roger goodell was watching cbs2 news. they made a special phone call. >> do i think i would like to go to the superbowl? yes. [ laughter ] are you serious? you guys are so awesome! >> reporter: this was a bittersweet woman for sarah. her parents were killed four years ago by a drunk driver. her father was an athletic trainer for the seahawks in the early 90s so it meant a lot for her to be there. we spoke to an airport manager. he says he is very happy to hear of this happy ending. liz? >> absolutely, what a happy ending. all right betty. thank you. >>> a superbowl scare had the fbi out in full force. several superbowl hotels reached envelopes with white powder but it turned out to be nothing. >>> the state will not deliver any water from state reservoirs. they just don't have the water to supply districts right now. it is a huge blow for farms as you can imagine. with reservoir levels dropping, the department needs to preserve what it can and all of us need to help. >> what this should mean to every homeowner is we are i

i think roger goodell will make $29 million or however much they value him.of the franchise. the individual teams aren't tax exempt. this organization called the nfl. the real thing to look into is if the stadiums are tax exempt, if they get tax breaks for building a stadium, that's a horrible thing. >> which happens all over the place. we should -- >> that is correct. >> we should note. >> it's not a hypothetical. >> the moment today with vernon davis was pretty incredible. i mean, you don't get to see that very often. it did occur to me, yeah, why isn't it the case there's just health care for life given the fact the league is making as much money as it is? >> ironically, i was on some of the early stages of the board that did all the research and it would have cost, i think, $1.4 million per player to guarantee health benefits for life. you didn't know if kaiser, cigna, or these people would be in business back then. >> right. >> there's also a belief in a small few that say if you play three, four years, if you work three, four years for ibm, are they sup

i think roger goodell have put the right messages out there we're going find out exactly if the money is where the mouth is. >> schieffer: cyd, this is a story that goes beyond sports which is why we're doing it on "face the nation" today where we normally concentrate on politics and things of that nature. how big a story do you think this is? for the cultures this a sign that things are changing, are we going to find out if they're changing or not. where do you put this? >> i think this is arguably the most coming out in our culture's history. when ellen degeneres came out. that was hugely impact of the. because of the power that the nfl and football has half of america calls football their favorite sport. going forward what is amazing about this is michael sam himself. so focused about talking about a gay football player. we need to talk about michael sam. he is gregariousa sense of humor, he's warm, he's engaging, 'he's going to be so successful. american is going to fall in love with his personality instead of looking at him as a gay football player. going forward super important

roger goodell spoke with the media today in new york ahead of the super bowl. goodell defended the team's right to use the name. >> in a native american community poll, nine out of ten supported the name. eight out of ten americans in the general population would not like us to change the name. so we are listening. we're being respectful for people who disagree. but let's not forget this is the name of a football team. >> goodell was also asked if he could use the term redskins speaking directly to a native american. he sidestepped that question. >>> new numbers out tonight show fairfax county is leading the state in texting while driving convictions. 725 tickets have been given out since that law took effect back in july. 168 citations were in fairfax county. virginia beach and prince william county rounded out the top three when it came to people who broke that tlauchlt numbers are from the state department of motor vehicles. >>> more flashes will soon be going off across the city. if you're caught on camera, get ready to pay up. starting tomorrow, 100 new ca

[video clip] salarycommissioners indicates this is not a street-based nonprofit organization such as the girl scouts or the american cancer society. a small trade association that serves a whole industry rather than a particular brand. this is the national football league. it has a particular number of members and it does include football all across the country and other areas. think this is i something that needs fixing. >> what is the likelihood we can get it done? >> i haven't heard back. i mentioned this to my colleagues. it is astonishing this is tax-exempt. whiche some background, is exactly what talk to cockburn and i did earlier this week. c

i just think they need to make some changes, roger goodell, and the competition committee, they're trying to slow it down. but you want to play. who wants to play when he's concussed? so they don't have it in everybody's heads, play, but you got to come out of the game. they want to show their manhood, and be with their teammates and it's a short period of time. and we don't know what the effects are. >> and the average length of a career in the nfl is four years. >> three and a half. but it's skewed somewhat and i think there's miscommunication about what that actually means. >> here's a problem. if you self-identify like alex smith did last year, your job gets taken sometimes. and the worst thing in the national football league is watching someone else do your job. you might not get it back. >> good point. i love all you guys. tiki, good to see you again. larry, so good to see you, man. thank you for being on the show. i'm going to be listening. you got tom brady. what about tiki, you're not putting tiki on? >> absolutely. >> all right. he'll be come to. >> he wants to come by, we'll pu

2013, ted wells was assigned to this investigation as an independent investigator by commissioner roger goodellings he came back with that i think are the most surprising. he had a couple other people on a consistent base harassing jonathan martin. john jerry in connection with ric richie incognito. it wasn't just jonathan martin but an assistant trainer and a younger offensive lineman. they are referred to as player "a." there is not a name to the assistant trainer. it said martin was taunted on a persistent basis with not only sexually explicit remarks but also racially charged, racially slurred, racially derogatory language on a consistent basis. this was the subject of him leaving the team abruptly in 2013. the report also says that martin was so stressful on him that it was consistent with contributing to his mental health issues. two different times in 2013, he said he considered suicide. another important point that i found to be important is that we have on derred whether or not the dolphins knew about any of this, whether or not the front office, the head coach was in any sort of posit

about the fans temptation to watch the game from home roger goodell said, what we have to say is that's a great experience but let's make the best experience our stadium experience better. technology into the stadiums is a good part of it, making people feel safe when we're in our facilities is a critical component. i'm john henry smith, al jazeera. >> ticket prices might be a part of that too. we'll see about that drm thank you very much. working hard all day. coming up our picture of the day plus free fall, our jake ward returns for new details and video from this astonishing space jump. >> the struggling midddle class >> we just can't get ahead... >> working longer hours, for less pay. >> people are struggling everywhere. >> school loans... morgages... inflation... taking it's toll... >> we live paycheck to paycheck... >> now in a continuing series, join ali velshi as we follow families, just like yours, as they try to get by... >> we're all struggling financially... >> america's middle class: rebuilding the dream only on al jazeera america! >> well, we have hundreds of thousands of

even though nfl officials like roger goodell have been supportive, you quoted several off the record has a daunting path. the nfl's not ready for him. one said it's a man's-man game. do you stand by the reporting? do you think the private comments are more reflective or the public support? >> acceptable this is a seminal moment in culture and sports. but michael sam has a barrier to break. and the nfl looks at him skeptively. and there's the dreaded word, distraction, that keeps coming up. that's the next step. a strong owner, general manager, a strong coach to draft michael sam. he's not a slam dunk prospect. >> his prospects to get in. but on this other question of how welcoming the league is going to be if he gets in. but this richie incognito report out of miami does reinforce the views of those who say this is going to be a hard fight. >> jim and i on outsports, we have written about 200 athletes who came out publicly in every sport, including football, at every level in every state of the country. every one says the same thing, before they came out, they heard a lot of homophob

i just think that roger goodell and the team, they have to make changes, but who wants to play when they have a concussion? so they don't necessarily have it still in everybody's heads, that you got to go out of the game. they want to show their manhood and be with their teammates and they want to win. and it is a short period of time and we just don't know what the effects are. >> and the average length, of a professional career in the nfl is four years. >> it can be eight, it is skewed and there is a lot of miscommunication about what it actually means. here is the problem. if you self-identify like alex smith did last year your job gets taken sometimes. the worst thing is in the national football league is watching somebody else do your job, and you might not get it back. >> listen, i love all you guys, listen, tiki, so good to see you, thank you for being on the show. we got tom brady, you too. what about tiki, not putting tiki on? >> absolutely, if he wants to come by, we'll put him on. >> one of the great broadcasterings of his of all time, thank you for joining us. >> and i hit su

going to be overly concerned that something bad is going to happen with michael sam, and you have roger goodelluklking about protecting the shield, and he might personally body guard michael sam for the rest of his career in the nfl. >> and that is funny when you put that it way -- and hang on, ben. when you put it in that context, and clean cut kid and very well spoken and appears to be a good student, and i don't imagine the grades are not great, and you have a guy who is gay, and so what, who cares? >> well, you have teammates who protecting him as soon as he makes friends with him. that is what happens in the lock locker room, you will get many groups of friends who eat dinner together and go out. but the other thing is that the nfl is not going to be stupid with this. and the owners of the team, and the game, and whoever is in charge, the gm or the coach are going to make it very clear whoever drafts sam are going to have a blunt team meeting that if anybody uses any of these words or slurs or gay slurs, you are going to be an incredibly in hot water and maybe off of the team if not indefi

today, members of congress wrote to nfl commissioner roger goodell objecting to his recent claim theame honored native-americans. democratic senator maria cantwell and congressman tom cole reminding that the federal government determined the name is a slur, pointing to a december ruling by the patent and trademark office, and they also invoked the nfl's special status under current law, writing the nfl's on the wrong side of history. it's not appropriate for this multibillion dollar 501c6 tax-exempt organization to profit from the continued degradation of tribes and indian people. it's time for the nfl to formally push for a name change for the washington football team. well, senator cantwell joins us in the guest spot for her first exclusive television interview since sending the letter to the lvl. chairs the indian affairs commission and is my old boss. welcome. how will are you. >> good to be with the group. >> very good to have you. tell us, first, what is your letter trying to achieve here? >> we want to make it clear, because commissioner goo goodde thought it was a name honori

i don't call roger goodell a. and say not holding the super bowl. what's happened to this country?digs gay marriages, let him make the cake. >> there you go. there is is a a lot of people who would do that katy perry, i met her last year. nice woman. and she put out a recent video that the muslims don't like. roll it. ♪ baby, do you dare do me in ♪ because i'm coming at you like a dark horse ♪ are you ready for ♪ are you ready for ♪ a perfect storm ♪ because would you mind ♪ would you mind ♪ there's no going back. >> katy perry in that shot with the guy melting. with some muslim emblem or something. i'm not getting. this do you know what this is all about. >> shocking because muslim people usually aren't uptight about stuff. jackal mask there. that was steve cohen. is he playing the jackal head in there. listen, let me say something to the muslim world. and i mean this in all seriousness. i don't know anything about it i don't know anything about episcopalian. i don't know anything about a lot of things. i was raised catholic and i don't know a whole lot about that you get so crank

i had the opportunity to speak with roger goodell this morning and he said that while he was really thankfulhe big game, the big priority now for the nfl and everybody else was getting all of these fans home to where they needed to go and actually the host committee, they really planned ahead because they were giving out packs of playing cards, also hand warmers. i spoke to somebody from the host committee and she said they were planning on giving them out anyway but a lot of people, these playing cards came in handy for as people scattered about the food court, that gave them something to do while they hung out. i have heard from a couple of people who waited hours. eventually the flights did begin to take off. now, the problem is, we could see from the low 20s and this is round one of two headed to the new york city. by midweek, we have another system that will offer up not just snow but wintry mix. some of that iciness as we head tuesday night into wednesday. we could be dealing with more problems at the airport. with this very heavy, wet snow, we have lots of power outages, especially in

ted wells, an independent investigator, hired by commissioner roger goodell of the nfl to look into this entire situation of harassment and bullying inside and outside of the dolphins' locker room. and some of the biggest take-aways here, the two people you're seeing on your screen are not the only two people that are involved. richie incognito on the right-hand side of your screen is named as a ring leader, if you will, in this report. but he's also joined by two other dolphin linemen, john jerry and mike pouncey. and the man on the left side of your screen, jonathan martin, wasn't the only one being harassed and engaged in a pattern of harassment. we're hearing that -- i'm reading, i should say, that the assistant trainer was also the target of numerous racial slurs and other racially derogatory language. and that the other offensive lineman -- described as player a., it's a younger offensive lineman, younger than jonathan martin, was subjected to homophobic name-calling and improper physical touching. now, the report says that jonathan martin was taunted on a persistent basis, that's
