The NFL faced severe backlash after the Ray Rice mess, and is now taking steps to improve how the league handles domestic violence cases. Sources are reporting the Commissioner Goodell has hired three female advisers to shape domestic violence and sexual assault policies. Hit the jump for details.

Via NBC Sports:

According to Mike Allen of Politico.com, the NFL is about to announce the hiring of outside advisers and counselors to help with their domestic violence problem.

Much in the same way they retained independent neurologists and added staff to fight the concussion issue, the added manpower should at least pacify those on Capitol Hill who are beginning to creep into their business.

The report also says the league plans to add to staff for compliance and training, and will include domestic violence awareness in its high school and college level educational programs.

It seems like a great step in the right direction!
