According to MyFoxAtlanta.com, Allred the press conference will involve “two individuals who allege that they or a family member were victims of violence and abuse by an NFL player.”
It’s not clear who the player is.
Allred is also expected to discuss how embattled NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has failed the victims and what he needs to do in order to establish a “process that is fair to victims,” MyFoxAtlanta reported.
Goodell is facing calls for his resignation over the league’s handling of the Ray Rice case and other domestic violence-related issues.
In the face of intense criticism, he announced Monday the hiring of four women in key executive and advisory roles to help shape the league’s policies toward domestic violence. Chief among the moves was the promotion of Anna Isaacson to the new position of vice president for social responsibility.
