ESPN anchor Hannah Storm's emotional reaction to the NFL crisis

Fourteen NFL games will be played Sunday, but the attention of many fans is still focused on the shocking series of events that took place since Week 1 drew to a close. In the wake of Adrian Peterson’s deactivation and indictment for negligent injury of a child, ESPN’s Cris Carter delivered a powerful speech on child abuse on NFL Countdown. Before that show started, anchor Hannah Storm closed SportsCenter with her own story of how she explained the NFL crisis to her daughters.

“On Monday morning I was genuinely excited to come to work and break down what I thought was a fascinating first weekend in the NFL. Instead I kicked off ESPN’s coverage of the horrific Ray Rice elevator video. Meanwhile, one of my daughters has her first fantasy football team this season, but at breakfast this week, instead of discussing how her team was doing, we watched the Ray Rice video play out again in all its ugliness.

 

I spent this week answering seemingly impossible questions about the league’s biggest stars. ‘Mom, why did he do that? Why isn’t he in jail? Why didn’t he get fired?'”
