In the wake of several high-profile incidents of domestic violence involving NFL players, fans and advertisers have questioned the way the league and Commissioner Roger Goodell handles players accused of off-the-field violence.
While several of the NFL's most high-profile sponsors — Anheuser-Busch, Pepsi, Verizon — have put out angry statements calling for the league to up its game in handling serious personal conduct allegations, no sponsors have yet walked away from America's most lucrative sports league.
This week, BuzzFeed News asked sponsors if they were considering taking the next step and severing their relationships with the NFL. This post will be updated as more advertisers respond to requests for comment.
