Or do I want to not give it fuel and hopefully let the flame die down?’” “There’s a danger of having a double standard, where athletes get held accountable for acts of domestic violence and owners don’t,” says Liz Roberts, CEO of Safe Horizon, the nation’s leading victim assistance organization. “There does need to be some accountability here, and that’s setting a consistent standard. This is a moment to really stand up and say, ‘No, that’s not what we’re doing anymore.
