ASU athletic director Ray Anderson critical of NFL leadership in Ray Rice video tape fiasco

Before he was named the vice president of university athletics at Arizona State University last January, Ray Anderson served as the vice president of football operations for the National Football League.
Which is to say, he worked very closely with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Goodell is under major scrutiny for the way the league has handled the Ray Rice domestic violence situation and subsequent penalty.
Rice originally received a two-game suspension from Goodell. When a second video tape surfaced earlier this week showing what transpired in the elevator of an Atlantic City hotel between Rice and his then-fiancé, the Baltimore Ravens terminated the running back’s contract and the NFL levied an indefinite suspension.
Goodell has been adamant in saying that nobody at the league office had seen the video in question.
