Black women's group: No African-American consultants 'unacceptable'

A leading black women's group is calling the NFL's decision not to include any African-American women as consultants on domestic violence "unacceptable."
The Black Women's Roundtable, made up of female leaders who represent black women and girls, said it appreciated the league's Monday decision to bring in three domestic violence experts as consultants.
"However, your lack of inclusion of women of color, especially black women who are disproportionately impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault; and the fact that over 66% of the NFL players are made up of African-Americans, is unacceptable," the group said in a Tuesday letter. Civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson has also criticized the NFL's decision to hire three white female domestic violence experts.
The NFL on Wednesday said its attempt to curb domestic violence goes beyond those consultants.
