Commissioner Roger Goodell says the NFL wants to implement new personal conduct policies by the Super Bowl. At a news conference Friday, Goodell made his first public statements in more than a week about the rash of NFL players involved in domestic violence. He did not announce any specific changes, but said he has not considered resigning. "Unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the NFL doing wrong," he said. "That starts with me." The league has faced increasing criticism that it has not acted quickly or emphatically enough concerning the domestic abuse cases. The commissioner reiterated that he botched the handling of the Ray Rice case/Fox News. More here. (AP photo: Roger Goodell at press conference today)

Question: As horrible as the events were that led to the NFL's mea culpa, I see a big silver lining. The high-profile abuse cases have prompted soul-searching in a sports empire closely followed by a lot of people. These cases have shined a bright spotlight on domestic abuse. Maybe our society will become less tolerant of it. Thoughts?
