The league—which is also [grappling with the severe health risks posed to players](http://time.com/3397085/the-tragic-risks-of-american-football/ "undefined")—is facing at least four separate players’ domestic abuse cases and has come under widespread fire for its inconsistent response to them. “It’s the kind of firm decision-making we’ve come to expect from people who don’t know what the f\*\*\* they’re doing,” he says of the league. Stewart also relished in the statement from NFL’s official beer sponsor, Anheuser-Busch, chastising the league’s handling of the domestic violence cases. “How crazy is this? A company that sells alcohol is the moral touchstone of the NFL.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/"},"headline":"Watch Jon Stewart Blast the NFL Over Handling of Domestic Abuse Cases","datePublished":"2014-09-18T13:38:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:16:16.895Z","description":"\"It's the kind of firm decision-making we've come to expect from people who don't know what the f**k they're doing.\"","url":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/","keywords":["Television","NFL","The Daily Show","Anheuser-Busch","Adrian Peterson"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Rayman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/noah-rayman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/","name":"Watch Jon Stewart Blast the NFL Over Handling of Domestic Abuse Cases"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"What to do with Roger Goodell?","description":"So Rice is gone, but after what many see as a series of missteps in handing down his punishment — what should Roger Goodell’s fate be?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Sb2DlMw9/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-09-11T21:00:30.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Sb2DlMw9.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/","duration":"PT2M5S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3397865/jon-stewart-nfl-domestic-abuse/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
