Heh, she still got married to him a month later.

And this is why no one should care.

Why people are white-knighting for a wild broad who gets the tingles thinking about how her man can take care of business and doesn't take shit from anybody is beyond me.

Ironically, the fact that he's had his contract terminated over this is going to severely impact his ability to 'take care of business' and continue to offer her the value she still saw in him, given she married him after this.

Wow, seriously guys? 220 lb of solid muscle NFL stud knocks his fiancee out COLD. She hit her head on the hand rail. If he wanted to send her a message, he could have given her a Sean Connery smack. Assuming this video is 100% legit and untampered with, Rice took things way too far. This is pretty bad and Rice deserves more than just a two-game suspension.

Just goes to show that too many dudes join RVF to hate on women rather than learn how to fuck them...

He did give her a Connery smack and she kept coming. Personally, I'd have never let it get to that point - if a woman had the cheek to put her hands on me in public like that, she can pack her bags and be gone in the morning. Should be screening out girls like that in the first place. Having allowed it to get to that point, Rice should have tried to restrain her. He did use unnecessary force to combat what was an unnecessary response from the woman.

Having said all that, the fact that his livelihood is being seriously impacted by this does not sit well with me, particularly because the NFL is bowing to the usual suspects. They'd already suspended him and now are lowering the boom even though everyone already knew what happened, simply because there is video of it. It's near thought crime territory now, where if you do or think something that doesn't agree with the 'accepted' view, you're removed from society no matter what. Rice is guilty of hitting his fiancee in a heated argument which involved them both assaulting each other. That does not render him unfit to do his work and provide for his family, particularly as his transgressions happened outside of his place of work. The NFL knew the facts and handed out a punishment, and now are severely increasing that punishment only to get out in front of a SJW led mob right at the start of a new season. It's cowardice if you ask me.

I agree with you completely but at this point, it became a business decision. It's the price to pay for the expanded business market that now heavily includes women now. The NFL being as big as it is cannot avoid it like they did in the past now. I think ray rice career might be over which is a shame. Running backs have short careers anyway. It's not like this was Tom Brady. Anyone else stupid enough to hit a woman in the future on camera will be removed from the NFL. NFL is hypocritical just like anyone else. Notice the Ravens have a couple new running backs that played well yesterday? It's always about the money. He isn't Aaron Rodgers.

Welcome to the information age! The atomic age is over and everything is on camera, audio, and email! Those unaware will reap what they sow in time, right or wrong, but now in front of everyone!

Like I said in the other ray rice thread, this is still a bit of a race issue as well because black women always feel like they can fight a grown man and always try to. They still need to learn how to control their emotions better in a more professional manner, especially in public. Don't get me wrong, Ray deserves some punishment for sure, but always takes two to fight.
