PepsiCo Inc. Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi said she is “confident” that Roger Goodell, commissioner of the National Football League, “will do the right thing” regarding cases of domestic violence involving some of its players, including Ray Rice.
“When it comes to child abuse and domestic violence, there is no middle ground,” Nooyi said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. “I am a mother, a wife, and a passionate football fan. I am deeply disturbed that the repugnant behavior of a few players and the NFL’s acknowledged mishandling of these issues, is casting a cloud over the integrity of the league and the reputations of the majority of players who’ve dedicated their lives to a career they love.”
