The National Football League has changed its domestic violence policy following public outcry over lax standards. Earlier this year, the NFL came under criticism after Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was suspended just two games despite video footage showing him dragging his unconscious fiancée by her hair and dropping her face-first onto the ground. Witnesses say Rice had punched his fiancée moments before. In a statement, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said his initial response was inadequate, saying: “I didn’t get it right.” Under the new rules, a first offense will result in a six-game suspension, and a second offense will earn a lifetime ban.
