Rice is a huge piece of shit. Not only does he smack her but he has total lack of respect for her. First he spits at her (reason why she slaps him). Than after knocking he show total lack of remorse in how he treats her body. Than to bring her out in press conference and make it look like they both are responsible is totally asshole move. That is all I need to know about this guy. He is assahole and people like this do not all of sudden change.
What pisses me more off is NFL and it's cynical approach. They don't give shit about anyone but their bottom line. If they really cared about domestic abuse they would have done what they did before public outrage. Why do you think they are so hard on little things like pot use? Definitely not concern for health of players. It is all about avoiding image of "thug" league. The whole dog and pony show that is NFL PR is sickening and disingenuous

They are wasted, hitting each other, doing dumb shit. He deserves to be punished but damn, it's like people want him to get the death penalty and never be allowed to play football again just because a video was released. Shit happens, punish him and move on. Everyone is just trying to protect their own ass because of public opinion. His wife has even apologized for the incident.
hno:He is saying if an elite QB did this they wouldn't get cut. That is probably right...If they did get cut they would definitely be back in the league as soon as it allowed (i.e there would be no blackballing)
Rice declined bigtime last year, he played almost 100 games in 5 years since the Ravens made the playoffs every year he was in the league for his first 5 years. All those wars with the Steelers took their toll as well. Cutting him wasn't that hard of a decision for the Ravens.
That's true of anything in life though, more talented you are the more you can probably get away with. Like in Breaking Bad Walt was a huge risk to Gus and secretly wanted to kill him, but he cooked the best blue meth so he had to deal with such risks.
He didnt get any jailtime, yet ppl want him out of the league. What the hell did ppl think happened? She slipped and fell and knocked herself out?! Lol harbaugh acting like he had no idea ray hit her. Dude apologized on tv!!! Ppl shouldnt be MORE outraged now, that's what's annoying me. The same feeling we all have shouldve been there from just the news alone at the very beginning.
Yet....
We hear nothing about the niner that hit his pregnant girl... not famous enough and no video.
DUI manslaughter and you can play as long as you want. MURDER is ok
Go to prison for a felony, get released, and come back as soon as you can find a team.
Try to cover up a murder, no suspension, just a hefty fine. Nice ray lewis.
6 games max and let rice back...if he can find a team. Fuckin stupid saying he should be banned forever.

i don't know, it would be tough for anyone to play after the video came out, even if this was a Peyton Manning. There would be some people who would still try and justify it but the video speaks volumes. Would be hard for any father with daughters to explain why they actually root for the Broncos if this was Peyton.
Plus, don't you think the media crush would be worse if it was an elite QB? Nobody outside of football circles or Baltimore knows who Ray Rice is but what if this was Brady/Giselle in the elevator? This would be 24/7 news not just on sports networks but every news and entertainment show including big news outside the United States. I could not see the Pats keeping Brady if this video came out. It would be such a huge distraction and black mark on the team/owner no matter what he did in the past. Hell, the Pats cut Hernandez before there was even a trial (what if he was acquitted) and the Pats could have desperately used him last year.
