The Issue

ESPN just suspended sportswriter and host Bill Simmons for speaking out against Roger Goodell's pathetic response to the Ray Rice domestic violence case. 

In fact, Simmons is suspended for 3 weeks -- longer than Rice's initial suspension for knocking his then-fiancee unconscious. He's also suspended longer than ESPN suspended Stephen A. Smith for suggesting that Rice's fiancee was somewhat responsible for her attack. 

This is ridiculous -- but it's also a powerful moment to continue building the movement against domestic violence, and empowering the women and men who stand up to it. 

Please sign my petition and share it with everyone you know.
