CoverGirl has created a picture that says 1,000 words.
And none of them are positive when it comes to the NFL.
As the official beauty partner of the league, CoverGirl opened the 2014 season by releasing a number of posters that encouraged female fans to get their "game face on," with the help of CoverGirl cosmetics, of course.
But then a Ray Rice video surfaced in which this Baltimore Ravens running back knocked out his fiancee... questions arose over why Commissioner Roger Goodell needed TMZ to find the footage for him... and folks have now used Photoshop to alter the look of the CoverGirl model in the Ravens-inspired ad.
Can you spot the change?
With Rice now suspended indefinitely - and with many wondering what Goodell knew and when he knew it, while also being angry that other players accused of domestic violence are on the field - the image has gone viral.
It has been re-Tweeted a number of times, along with such hashtags as #BoycottNFL and #GoodellMustGo.
Says CoverGirl in a statement to E! News:
"As a brand that has always supported women and stood for female empowerment, COVERGIRL believes domestic violence is completely unacceptable. We developed our NFL program to celebrate the more than 80 million female football fans.
"In light of recent events, we have encouraged the NFL to take swift action on their path forward to address the issue of domestic violence."
Your move, Roger Goodell. Wherever you are.
Since this video has surfaced and Rice has been cut by the Ravens, Adrian Peterson of the Vikings has been accused of beating his four-year old son, as the league continues to deal with controversy over its players' personal lives and how it responds to these kinds of heinous incidents.
