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...

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...

eball Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I guess I'm one of the naive ones, because I did not expect to see what I saw in that video. I knew she was knocked out but I just didn't expect a full left cross to the jaw. Rice is a craptastic human being. If Goodell saw this video before administering the "punishment" he should just step down. What a disgrace. As for Rice himself -- how does a teammate see that and then want to "go to war" with this guy? I would not at all be surprised to see the Ravens cut bait within the next week.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) @LeCharlesBent65 NFL players want to stand up for some shat, don't play against Ravens until Rice is suspended indefinitely. What if that was YOUR daughter? @AlbertBreer As it stands, Ray Rice is eligible to return to the Ravens on Friday. Hard to believe that'll actually happen. @ProFootballTalk Don't be shocked if NFL reopens Rice case. If they didn't see video and if he claimed there was no punch, they could take further action.

Pneumonic Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Holy crap. Seeing that, I'm lost for words. That's an animal not a man, a pathetic, no good, excuse of a man. I can't believe the league saw this video and came to the conclusion they did. if so, shame on them. The Ravens should **** can Rice immediately over this. And fans outta boo the guy endlessly every time he touches the ball, if he ever steps out onto the field again. This is a serious black eye on the league.

A few respected reporters said otherwise this summer. I said in another thread, which I can't locate, that I heard on a sports talk radio show that the NFL didn't see the footage inside the elevator. I was told that was completely false. So either Goodell, who is a POS as well, gave Rice just an embarrassingly short 2-game suspension because he didn't see the footage, or he saw it, gave him an embarrassingly-short 2-game suspension, and is now lying about it. Utterly pathetic either way and a monumental black eye for the NFL and Goodell's failed PCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjatcreek07 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Doesn't make sense how a guy can smoke pot and miss a whole year and Rice gets two games for punching his then fiance/now wife. To be honest, I don't really care that charges will be dismissed and that they worked it out and are now married he should get at least 4-6 games.
