PepsiCo Wants NFL To 'Seize The Moment'
NEW YORK (AP) -- The leader of Gatorade maker PepsiCo is urging the National Football League to ``seize the moment'' and put domestic violence and child abuse policies in place immediately once it conducts its review.
PepsiCo Inc. Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi said in a statement that the NFL has a chance to ``effect positive change with the situation presented to them.''
PepsiCo is one of several NFL sponsors watching closely as the league investigates how its executives handled evidence in the domestic violence case of former Baltimore Ravens player Ray Rice. The Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson is also facing a felony child abuse charge that has placed more attention on the NFL.
Nooyi also expressed confidence that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell would ``do the right thing for the league.''
