Greybeard Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So what if they had the tapes and Rice's fiance begged that they shouldn't boot him, and reluctantly they agreed. Does that make the NFL terrible for not kicking him out or nice for giving him a second chance? I don't have any legal knowledge but is it true that if she didn't want to press charges, then no legal action could be taken? When the first video came out and I heard it was in a casino, I assumed what had happened in the elevator would come out very shortly. Casino's tape everything. So where was EVERYONE asking for the video's before? I find the situation everyone is in very odd when you follow the time-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Who cares, Rice is banned and deleted from Madden. Roger listened to the wife's sob story, who can blame her for trying to protect her meal ticket, and when the video finally surfaced he did the right thing. No need for Congress to get involved, I would think they have better things to do but idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm still curious whether people think he should be fired for only giving a 2 game suspension or for lying.

Not the 2 game suspension part - agree or disagree with that, it is at least a debatable issue. But by trying at every turn to minimize the public outcry and just hope this issue goes away, he's turned it into a PR disaster. If you were an owner, would you really want him to stick around?

TSOL Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 When youre as high and mighty as the NFL is, everyone, and i mean EVERYONE is looking for a reason to take you down a peg. The commisioners job is to make sure that never happens. In this instance, Rodger Goodell has failed, miserably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hopefully that arrogant piece of trash we call the commish is shown the door. Everything he does, including his attempts to squeeze every last cent from fans and now his lying on this issue wreaks of nothing more than complete and utter arrogance. HE deserves to go for trying to sweep this issue under the rug so no one remembers it, and then turning around and going on and on about how much the NFL loves women by wearing pink during October.

maddenboy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 NFL had tapes in April? So what? Its a private business. It can do what it wants. The real problem/issue is, if I'm Rice's attorney, I would immediately: (1) file for immediate appeal of the indefinite suspension, because there was no new information. (2) Bring charges against local law enforcement for releasing the tape. Might have to go to the judge, or ask the AG to step in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Law enforcement can press charges on their own in domestic violence cases on probable cause alone. They don't need a complainant. Jesus...how many times to I have to point that out?

But I'd be filing an immediate appeal. And I'd be pressing civil charges against the state of New Jersey, for the professional damage and loss of income caused by the illegal sharing of evidence from an active case (Ray Rice pleaded out in May, in April the case was still active).

That's kind of what I'm getting at. IMO he SHOULD do everything he can to minimize public outcry. That's his job. I'm curious if people think he should be fired because his miscalculation caused a media firestorm that could damage the league, or whether it's on moral grounds.
