An Open Letter to Roger Goodell from a former NFL wife and an abuse survivor
Posted Sep 12, 2014
Dear Mr. Goodell: My name is Marcia Mount Shoop. I am a theologian, author, Presbyterian minister, mother, and coach’s wife. I am also a rape and abuse survivor. I spent the first twelve years of my marriage as an NFL wife while my husband coached for four different teams. We are thankful for our time in the NFL even as there are lots of things I do not miss. One of those things that I don’t miss is something I still deal with: sexism.
(Rev. Marcia Mount Shoop, Ph.D.)
