NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will hold a press conference in New York at 3 p.m. ET Friday to address the league’s rampant domestic violence issues.
Goodell has been under extensive criticism with calls for him to talk about the issues plaguing the NFL over the last two weeks.
Goodell has not spoken to any media member since doing a pair of one-on-one interviews last week.
Friday’s press conference comes one day after Goodell sent a memo to teams that all NFL team personnel and staff will be required to undergo training on the prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault starting within 30 days.
“These initial sessions will begin to provide the men and women of the NFL with information and tools to understand and recognize domestic violence and sexual assault,” the memo said. “We will work with the NFL Players Association to develop and present this training in the most effective way.”
