OUTRAGED MOM TACKLES NFL OVER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AD
The NFL owes me an apology.
I enjoyed my pregnancy. To be able to say that after all that I went through as a result of domestic violence is a true testament to God’s grace over my life. That’s why seeing the NFL’s Super Bowl commercial made me feel victimized all over again.
New York City – where the NFL is based – is notorious for taking children from mothers of domestic violence for “Failure to Protect” the child from domestic violence. Yet, despite releasing a million dollar Super Bowl commercial, the NFL remaining clueless on what it really takes for women like me to survive domestic violence.
Like nearly all domestic violence promotional ads or material, the commercial offered absolutely no real help for victims. The commercial did not say the NFL is funding a national housing drive for women in cities where the league has teams. The commercial asked people to look for domestic violence, did not tell them what to do if they found it, tell the women where to go after they report it, offer financial or housing assistance if they left.
I started this GoFundMe to help me raise the funds I need to create my own commercial and publish a book responding to the offensive way that the NFL has treated domestic violence victims.
Let's all say NO MORE to the NFL's cover ups. Please help me raise funds today!
