If the NFL saw this video and only gave him two games, then I've lost what little respect for the NFL that I had.

That's horrible. Pretty disturbing
Only a few more weeks until the NFL wears pink uniform trim to pretend is cares about women.
Remarkable that he isn't in jail. He should be out of the NFL.
Wes Welker gets 4 games for Adderall, Josh Gorgon gets a year for smoking with buddies, and Ray Rice gets 2 games for cold cocking his woman and then dragging her across the floor??????
NFL just released a statement saying they were unable to obtain all the video from that night and today is the first time they've seen this video. I'd expect them to evaluate their punishment for Ray again.
Read: We found out that YOU found out about this video, so we're going to pretend we just found out about it too.Quote:

Interesting note: this video is released the weekend the casino goes out of business. Sketchy.
Makes sense actually. Now that no one has a job to get fired from they can release it to get a little $ from TMZ. Bet an old security guard or something had itQuote:

They wont change their punishment. If they are going to retro the players involved in the new Drug policy, why would they not retro the players suspended for abusing women. Instead he will miss next week, and then continue to make his millions.
Apparently the ravens tweeted this in may. In case you want to be more pissed.
@Ravens: Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.
Sports as a whole has gotten to a sad level, in order to get production back on the field, all common sense is lost.
I bet she doesn't hit him in the face again. I don't see how you can bring criminal charges against him. Technically she hit him first.
You didn't know that smoking weed was the 2rd worst thing in America behind murder? People get more time for growing marijuana in their house than for rape of a child.Quote:

You seem like the type that thinks it's ok to hit a woman. I hope rice tears both ACLsQuote:

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:
