ray rice

this ray rice thing. i'm not going to link any articles since i don't want to color your opinion if you haven't seen the video yet. so here's the video.



i absolutely think ray rice should be cut from the ravens and suspended by the nfl. if he doesn't admit to any wrongdoing then he should probably be cut from the nfl entirely.

i think that accidents to happen. he could have accidentally knocked her unconscious. she rushed at him, he deflected her, she then fell head first into the handrail. so the fall could have knocked her out. EXCEPT that if he didn't mean to hit her unconscious he would've checked on her once she hit the floor! but he doesn't move to check on her. he doesn't even shift her body so she's a little more comfortable. when he drags her out of the elevator he isn't careful with her. he doesn't even make sure that she's completely out of the elevator. and psychically, he is able to. he just does not care to. and all that, to me, shows that this is not a one time accident. this is domestic abuse.

they both need to go to counseling. go separately. we can't make her press charges against him, but hopefully, through counseling they'll both realize that he was wrong. if the govt can charge him with aggregated assault or battery, they should. she is currently in denial about what happened. she has defended him, and has said she didn't agree with the nfl suspension. but she is wrong. i mean, sheesh, has she watched the video?

i also think there should be a criminal investigation about how the nfl commissioner roger goodell handled the case before tmz published the elevator video. but that's a different discussion.
