One of the funniest posters in GIP.

Just not intentionally.

I hope the NFL tries to beat them to this and instead releases completely different damning evidence. :swoon:

I admit it's hard to wrap my head around the women choosing to stay though. I don't mean to judge them but it's just sad and discouraging

Oh no, don't get me wrong. It doesn't surprise me AT ALL that they'd want to cover this up. It's the idea that, if it really was an attempt at a cover-up, they really believed the video wouldn't get out - that's what blows my mind. Anything with this much attention that's caught on tape WILL end up on the internet. It's just so hard to believe that not one person in any of the meetings or whatever throughout this process didn't see this coming.

It's almost as if being violently physically abused fucks with your mind in a horrible way!

Also it must be pretty clear to Ray Rice's wife that no one gives two shits about her because her husband is (was) a good football mans.

"If you leave me, I'll loving kill you" carries a whole lot of weight when you're getting KO'd in public and no one really seems to give much of a poo poo. I'm not being a dick here, it's actually a good thing that you don't understand how a man can instill that kind of fear into a woman. Especially when it's a famous man with money.

I mean the Ravens basically tried to make her at fault. I understand that there is a ton of money at stake in the NFL, but at the end of the day, it's still just a goddamned game. How any of these people sleep at night is beyond me. A bed made of money can't be that comfortable.

It's not about protecting the player at all, it's about the NFL's image.

The biggest problem are all the people acting as if this is something that can be "fixed". One of the most common reasons women stay in abusive relationships is because they believe their husband is sick and be cured and that they just need someone who will love and stay with them.

After Larry Johnson's drink incident, his wikipedia temporarily had something along the lines of "he tried to run after throwing the drink in her face but was tackled after only a yard". It was pretty great.

ESPN had an interesting article about that. A sizeable number of NFL fans are mad because 'reality' is interrupting their football game.
