Jesse Jackson has been quiet of late but has jumped into the fray to criticize the he NFL for not including any African-American women when it brought on three domestic violence experts as consultants according to the Associated Press.
Jackson said Tuesday: “Where is the jury of your peers?” The civil rights leader calls the lack of diversity among the senior advisers a “shameful insensitivity” that “compounds the credibility crisis.”
The league said Monday that Lisa Friel, Jane Randel and Rita Smith would serve as “senior advisers” to the NFL on domestic violence issues.
