Every outlet has reported there are injuries. Reported as "minor" by TMZ, but that could mean simply not life threatening. But the point remains, your assertion that everyone walked away without any injuries is factually false.

You’re right.  TMZ is famous for understating situations rather than sensationalizing them.  Those other cars rolled over and burst into flames, and there are surely injuries that fall just under the threshold of “life threatening”.  Rice is going to serve prison time.  This is basically Henry Ruggs part 2.  🥱

Not “any” injuries.  It’s $10k and a potential loss of license if the injuries are minor which they were.  Nobody is going to jail over this.  Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but worst case scenario is probably a 4 game suspension.

 

There’s literally video of the occupants of the cars getting out and walking away without so much as a limp.  

Why are you so quick to downplay the incident and take the player's side? Would you be saying the same thing if someone was killed, which could have easily happened?

 

But you're right, nothing of any consequence will ever happen to this guy or other model citizens like Britt Reid or Tyreek Hill.

People don't have to die or the car burst into flames to fall under the terms of fleeing a hit and run involving bodily harm. That's not a nothing charge.

 

I don't know if he's going to be tried or serve time or not. I don't know for 100% certainty he was driving or that they can prove that he was. Though it appears to me that he was there and he was driving, I don't know if it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt or not.

 

But this idea you're perpetuating that since no car burst into flames and no one died it's a non story and that there were absolutely no injuries is factually wrong and the level of downplay you're arguing for the offense is simply put, downright embarrassing from your end.

Of course I wouldn’t be saying the same thing if someone was killed.  There’s a pretty big difference between getting into a wreck where everyone walks away versus someone being killed.  It was a stupid situation, and I’m sure he’ll face some sort of consequence, but it’s not like he’s OJ Simpson or Von Miller.

I didn’t say he’d go to jail but he will be arrested if he was the driver. If no injuries likely loss of license and probation perhaps. You claimed he wouldn’t be arrested

Oh my God. Someone doesn't have to *die* for there to be an offense with repercussions, possibly major. No one has said that he's going to have a Henry Ruggs like punishment or is comparing the end result to Ruggs. But you don't have to kill someone to be charged with something or be punished. A crime of a hit and run involving bodily harm (even minor) is a felony offense.

 

And the clapbacks at you stem from you claiming no one will or should be arrested for anything and no one was injured. By the letter of the law and what's been reported - these assertions are completely incorrect.

 

And it's interesting you should mention Henry Ruggs earlier. Is this the same result? Thankfully no. But it's the same action from a comparable 2nd year player and Ruggs is still in recent memory. I could easily see a scenario where Goodell and the League want to make an example of him to try and prevent this kind of behavior happening again.

It is not a good look, first to drive without any care or concern for fellow motorists, and then to just saunter away from the scene.   I do not like the way their minds work.

Worst case scenario is KC now realize they have an idiot at WR who they can’t rely on, they may be forced to use an earlier pick on WR then they had planned.

 

 Racing is idiotic enough, but fleeing without regard to innocent victims well being shows his true character.

Jalen Carter crashed a car and left the scene of a fatal car accident.  He got probation and was drafted top 10 a year later.  Rice was incredibly lucky that his stupidity didn’t have a worse ending.  I’m not condoning his actions, nor does it make even the tiniest bit of difference what I think should happen to him.  The reality is that it was a traffic accident that resulted in no major injuries.  He’s got enough money to afford a competent attorney, so the odds of him seeing the inside of a jail cell are virtually nil.

 

I realize he plays for the team that keeps winning Super Bowls so everyone here wants to pretend that the book will be thrown at him, but that’s little more than fan fiction.

Considering the joke of a punishment Brett Reid got, Rice will likely skate.


I will say this, Andy Reid is a hell of a football coach and guys make their own decisions but he always seems to have guys involved in some stuff. Oldest son OD, Britt, Tyreek, Frank Clark, Willie Gay, now Rashee Rice and it’s always fairly serious stuff

You could've saved yourself a lot of time and typing effort in this thread by just saying "I am incapable of being unbiased and level-headed about this issue because it involves a Kansas City Chief, and I am downplaying the seriousness of this misdemeanor criminal offense because the player in question plays for my favorite team. If he played for a different team, my opinion would be different".

There. That's the truth. Now you don't have to keep replying any more.

more similar than ruggs is probably Carter- with the street racing. The nfl has to be eager to stamp out both behaviors though.

Yup NFL couldn’t do anything about Carter , I’m seeing , especially if guns were at the scene, seeing a nice 6-10 game suspension

He won’t face jail time

 

But as you said, he is stupid and he needs to evaluate his inner circle.  Can’t be an idiot more than a few times

There is a significant difference in those cases, while yes someone died, but they were the people in the other car racing and it wasn't due to a collision with his car they couldn't make the turn and veered off the road.

 

In this case both cars hit multiple vehicles by the look of it and that's not great.

What did OJ Simpson ever do?
