NFL Players Highlight Anti-Domestic Violence Campaign
By Clinton Cole
Several NFL players have joined the “NO MORE” campaign to speak out against domestic violence.
Domestic violence has unfortunately been a major talking point in the NFL this season and several players are stepping forward to take action against the situation.
Jason Witten and Eli Manning are just two of the NFL stars to voice their opinion in the video below:
According to their website, the NO MORE campaign was developed ‘because despite the significant progress that has been made in the visibility of domestic violence and sexual assault, these problems affecting millions remain hidden and on the margins of public concern’.
Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson are the biggest names around the NFL that have been caught for their domestic violence crimes, but many other cases around the country go unnoticed each day.

When Rice was initially suspended for just two games, many people spoke out against the NFL and their current policies. After the videotape of the incident surfaced, Commissioner Roger Goodell was forced to extend the punishment that many still thought wasn’t enough. The league suspended Rice indefinitely and the Ravens terminated his contract.
While the NFL has deserved every bit of negative publicity regarding domestic violence, it is good to see some of their brightest stars speak out on a matter that is relevant to so many people.
Even if you’re not a fan of the players in the video on the field, you have to respect what they are trying to do with this important topic.
