The campaign to oust NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has taken to the skies.

Women's advocacy group UltraViolet planned to fly banners that read “@Ultraviolet: #GoodellMustGo” over three NFL stadiums on Sunday. The first banner was spotted above MetLife Stadium in New Jersey before the Giants kicked off against the Cardinals.

A second banner was seen flying over Cleveland where the Browns were set to play the New Orleans Saints. The group had planned to fly a third banner over the San Fransisco 49ers' Levi Stadium but canceled due to plane issues. Another plane is expected over Indianapolis on Monday night prior to the Colts-Eagles game.

With the NFL facing a major credibility crisis following its mishandling of the Ray Rice domestic violence situation, calls have increased for Goodell to resign or be fired. Women's rights groups, notably UltraViolet and the National Organization For Women, have been prominent in asking the NFL to address its violence against women problem. Those groups have been joined by ESPN's Keith Olbermann in excoriating the NFL for its reactionary handling of the Rice case as well as its inaction related to ongoing domestic violence cases involving Greg Hardy of the Panthers and Ray McDonald of the 49ers.

This camper questions whether the NFL even cares about women or domestic violence.

Rachel mentioned that, in addition to Ray Price, there were 57 current NFL players that have had domestic abuse charges fled against them.

The first step is to lose Goodell.
