Goodell: ‘I Believe in Accountability’

The NFL commissioner says he’ll create a ‘conduct committee’ to address issues in the NFL

"I’m establishing a conduct committee to review these new rules in the months and years to come and ensure that we are always living with the best practices. There is no reason we cannot be as transparent and as effective on these issues as we are with the game on the field. I believe in accountability. I understand the challenges before me, and I will be held accountable for meeting them. Every day, so many of our players, coaches and staffs, are doing tremendous things in their communities. I couldn’t be more proud of how they are using the opportunity to help make a positive difference. Today, I ask everyone, as a part of the NFL, to join me in making positive and significant changes going forward. I will take your questions."
