Kelly the Dog Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Probably provoked him.... Players don't just abuse or murder their wives for no reason, they are always provoked. It's practically out of their hands, they have to do it. It's kinda like why they have to cheat on their wives, to break up the monogamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 2 game suspension is beyond shameful and I don't see any way he could gain back credibility. This article reminds me of the "Cops" episodes where the abused women is pleading with the cop to not arrest her abuser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 So ray rice's wife insists this is the only time he had ever beaten her, and commish believes that and adds in that he was part of the anti-bullying campaign, so hey - all good! What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondslider Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 That's disgusting and it almost comes off as victim blaming. "I was going to punish him more but she said..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needs that game check as badly as Rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrod's Tailor Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 It is truly amazing how tone deaf the NFL has come across. Some seriously dumb people seem to have very senior executive positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I think it now was actually 6, but they challenged, and it was reduced to 4. Your right, but the original question was how long was he suspended. He served a 4 game suspension. Now, I've said before to be clear his behavior is deplorable, inexcusable, and I agree 4 games and their game checks is more appropriate. One point that came up yesterday was James Harrison was nailed for domestic abuse and receive no suspension. Back a decade ago, Michael Pittman of the Bucs also was nabbed for domestic abuse and received no suspension. It doesn't make it right, but the NFL has a record of not getting involved in these issues. That is not my take, but just bringing up other points related to the issue.

RuntheDamnBall Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Smoking pot: throw the book at him. Smacking around his wife? Make him promise never to do it again, and do just little enough for a token punishment. Josh Gordon and Dareus get a lot of flack around here and I'm not going to argue that they haven't acted stupidly, but Rice's crime is real, indisputably wrong, and cowardly. It's exactly the kind of conduct that the NFL should be trying to eliminate among its employees. They need to prioritize and start distinguishing between victimless crimes, and those that cause more than just a PR black eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Please tell me the NFL didn't see this and still only dish out 2 games. I hope the Ravens fans who have him a standing ovation when he played in PS get a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchmurraydowntown Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 OMG, this guy needs to be let go immediately. You cannot even expect this guy to still be on the team, 2 games was truly a complete & utter joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Not defending Rice by any means but what did you all expect? This is basically what everyone knew happened before this was released. When the story reads: "Rice KO's wife in elevator" and nobody denies it is fact...you should hardly be shocked again when this video comes out.
