Named one of UTNE Reader’s “50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Our World”, he will discuss the NFL’s commitment to being a force against Domestic Violence. His opening statement regarding Domestic Violence and Ray Rice, “let’s be clear: the NFL has about as much of a commitment to do something about violence against women as British Petroleum—or is it Beyond Petroleum—has to cleaning up the environment.”
