Quote:
Major NFL sponsors Pepsi, FedEx, Verizon, McDonald's and Anheuser-Busch criticized the league over its handling of domestic and child abuse accusations.
The beer behemoth took the strongest stance against the league. It's deal with the league is worth $1.2 billion.
“We are disappointed and increasingly concerned by the recent incidents that have overshadowed this NFL season. We are not yet satisfied with the league’s handling of behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code. We have shared our concerns and expectations with the league.”
— Anheuser-Busch spokesperson (New York Daily News)
All this public relations language boils down to two words. "Do something."

Curious when the other 30 NFL owners will step in and say enough is enough.
