  • Intro:

    NFL commissioner Roger Goodell apologises for making mistakes during the Ray Rice domestic abuse investigation.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Roger Goodell:

    "At our best, the NFL sets an example that makes a positive difference. Unfortunately, over the past several weeks, we have seen all too much of the NFL doing wrong, That starts with me."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Roger Goodell:

    "I got it wrong in the handling of the Ray Rice matter. I'm sorry for that. I got it wrong on a number of levels, from the process that I led to the decision that I reached. But now, I will get it right and do whatever is necessary to accomplish that."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Roger Goodell:

    "The same mistakes can never be repeated. We will do whatever is necessary to ensure that we are thorough in our investigation process and that our conclusions are reliable. We will get our house in order first."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Roger Goodell:

    (Q): Have you considered resigning at any point throughout this?

    "I have not. I'm focused on doing my job to the best of my ability. I understand when people are critical of your performance but we have a lot of work to do. That's my focus. We've been busy in the last couple of weeks. We have results to show for it - we've talked about some of them in my statement - but I'm proud of the opportunity that we have to try to make a difference here and do the right thing. We've acknowledged that we need to change what we're doing, now we have to get to what are those changes going to be."
