WUSA CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley September 9, 2014

Our son did make progress, has caught up. Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Schieffer good evening, im Bob Schieffer. Since the horrible tape surfaced yesterday, a Baltimore Ravens running back ray rice beating his thenfiance, theres been a torrent of criticism that the National Football league had been insensitive to the whole issue of domestic violence. Rice was fired by the ravens and suspended indefinitely but not permanently by the league, but questions have been building about how much the league knew and when officials knew it. Late today, commissioner Roger Goodell gave his first interview, and Norah Odonnell of cbs this morning, got it. Norah. Reporter bob, commissioner Roger Goodell was adamant that no one, he says, in the nfl had seen this second videotape before monday. He called it new evidence, and he said its the reason they decided to suspend ray rice indefinitely. When did you first learn about this second tape . Yesterday morning. I got into the office, and our staff had come to me and said theres no evidence. Theres a video that you need to see. And i watched it then. Reporter did you know that a second tape existed . Well, we had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. We assumed that there was a video. We asked for video. But we were never granted that opportunity. Reporter so did anyone in the nfl see the second videotape before monday . No. Reporter no one in the nfl. No one in the nfl, to my knowledge, and ive been asked that same question, and the answer to that is no. Reporter how is it that the nfl couldnt get their hand on this second tape, but a web site called tmz could . Well, i dont know how tmz, or any other web site gets their information. We are particularly reliant on law enforcement. Thats the most reliable. Its the most credible. And we dont seek to get that information from sources that are not credible. Reporter the question becomes did the nfl drop the ball ors of the nfl willfully ignorant about what was on this tape . Well, we certainly didnt know what was on the tape, but we have been very open and honest, and i have, also, from two weeks ago, when i acknowledged that we didnt get this right. Thats my respsibility, and im accountable for that. Reporter but what changed . I mean, on the first tape, she was lying unconscious on the ground being drabd out. Did you really need to see a videotape of ray rice punching her in the face to make this decision . No. We certainly didnt. And i will tell you that what we saw on the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself. But what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic, and it was sickening. And thats why we took the action we took yesterday. Reporter what does that mean that he was suspended indefinitely . Does that mean ray rice will never play in the nfl again . I dont rule that out. But he would have to make sure that we are fully confident that he is addressing this issue clearly. He has paid a price for the actions that hes already taken. Schieffer so ray rice could return to football possibly . Reporter well, you heard the commissioner say, i dont rule that out. He clearly would have to show that hes taken some additional steps, so thats clearly going to get some attention. Schieffer and the commissioners own status, did he say anything about that . Reporter well, there have been some calls for commissioner goodell to step down. I asked film if he early this year. When we spoke to syrians in this area back then, many of them told us that they supported isis because it was fighting against the syrian regime. They said that isis was trying to help people and that it wasnt using violence to enforce strict islamic law. But that has now all changed. Many syrians are now simply too frightened to speak to us for fear of retribution, and when they do talk about isis they mention executions and beatings, and many syrians now say while they still hate the syrian president bashar al assad, isis is much worse than his regime ever was. Pelley thanks, holly. And now with the rest of the days news, well leave erbil, iraq, and return to Bob Schieffer in new york. Bob. Schieffer thank you very much, scott.
