ANALYSIS/OPINION
Ezekiel Elliott, meet Cathy Lanier.
“I’m hoping this hire means something to young women in terms of fairness and opportunity,” Lanier, the former District of Columbia police chief, told the Washington Post in February shortly after being hired as NFL security boss.
“For people to assume that the NFL is not fair — or it’s a man’s club or not committed to (addressing) issues like domestic violence — I don’t feel that way inside this organization. That perception is for me to change,” she said.
It seems that the case where Cathy Lanier has decided to show that commitment — to change that perception — is the domestic violence investigation into the Dallas Cowboys star running back.
