"For lying to league officials during our investigation of the domestic violence incident, Ray Rice is suspended indefinitely."

Didn't someone already say that Rice told the Ravens what happened and this jives with what he told them? Cuz if so goddamn the Ravens are a terrible franchise

Can someone explain Rovell's tweet, what does "no employee has job to worry about" mean and how does it connect to the first part of the sentence

He's saying this video wasn't leaked before because employees of the casino were afraid they'd be fired for leaking it. Now that the casino is closing the employees don't give a poo poo

The one thing that this does change is that most parties were claiming that the secret elevator video showed her being violent towards him and ultimately provoking the punch. This shows that nothing of the sort happened.

She steps towards him after he spits on her or hits her the first time and then he punches her and knocks her out, and that stepping towards him is enough for plenty of stupid people to rationalize his actions since she was being "aggressive" and obviously a strong professional athlete has no other recourse than to punch a woman who isn't cowering on the ground after you already punched her once

Well we knew that he punched her in the face and knocked her out but until we saw him do it we thought it really wasn't that big of a deal


ehhh, I bet the excuse will be "he told us she attacked him he lied to us!" and it's probably all bullshit

Ray Rice screwed himself over by punching his girlfriend.

e: the point being, bitching about someone else screwing him over is just shifting the blame off of Rice

The only reason anyone even cares about the incident is Rice is famous and not some hillbilly unemployed redneck living in a trailer. Demanding penance for a crime that usually results in anger management classes and probation is silly. Vick ran an organized dog fighting ring for years compared to a single violent outburst.

The NFL hosed up by getting involved, but only mildly punishing him. Admitting to "I knocked my fiance unconscious" shouldn't need a video to convey the level of violence.

This probably says more about our societies views on women and violence, and the things it is saying aren't good.

Good lord the NFL somehow seems to be run by incompetents (that still make a ton of money)
