Is it any clearer if you're not watching it on a phone?)
Obviously there will be a lot more outrage from people that can actually see the hit, but NFL has already taken the position that they couldn't do any more because of their existing policies (or lack thereof). Coming out and changing now would just be saying, yeah, that was all bullshit. Obviously we know what it means for a freak athlete like Ray Rice to hit a woman, but we were hoping other people wouldn't really grasp it and we didn't want to mess up the season. Now that everybody can see for themselves though, and we're in for more of a publicity hit, we're going to punish him for real.
I think I'd lean towards just sticking with the original position if I were the NFL.
I'm the type of guy that says it's not okay to hit anyone. It doesn't matter to me about age, sex, or color. If you hit someone, expect full retaliation. When someone hits me in the head, even if they're just playing, I see red.Quote:

That being said, I wonder what the response would be to this if that video was just some guy with rice and not a woman. Think he would even be suspended?
Nope. In fact, I think the other guy would've been more likely to go to jail, and probably would've been bullied out of his home town.Quote:

Given the unpredictable nature of Ray Rice news, I should have said the Ravens have terminated Ray Rice's contract.
She did slap him in the face outside of the elevator but it looks like Rice may have spit in her face right before that
Other than pulling a weapon on him, nothing she could have done deserved a hard left cross from an NFL football player.
Oh I agree. Just pointing out what I think most are missing from the video.Quote:
