We've all see the video but strangely only the part where he drags his then girlfriend unconscious from the elevator. He gets a 2 day suspension for that , but we see the rest of the suppressed video that was to designed to protect the thug and the Ravens have no choice but to release Rice . What a big tough guy , he knocks her out with one shot. But why did the Ravens wait until TMZ shows the rest of the video to get rid of this piece of crap ? Will the thugs in Baltimore riot because he was let go without a trial !
I am no fan of his, or the Ravens. But would you or I be fired for a fight with our wives? I dont agree with that unless there is an arrest like in the Hernandez case.
This guy needs to do hard time and be banned from football. Look what they did to Mike Vic for just fighting dogs. This guy deserves much worse.
She admits spitting on him, she advanced on him, he swung. In typical ghetto fashion. Jail? Probably never.
they way the right wing uses it including in the OP makes it one. I am sorry your people have destroyed the word. "BTW no one is supporting Rice except for some right wingers.
Where I come from " Thug" was a term we used for tough guys that thought they were above the law and at that time it was the Mafia . Who determined that it's exclusively for blacks ? Or do blacks want this kind of label to bring them up or down to some kind of respected level .Was I anti Italian when I used it ? Please educate me to bring me UP to your intelligence level. And try to drop your idiotic political statements.
A women spits on you and it's OK to knock her out and drag her out like a rag doll into the hallway ? "Ghetto fashion" doesn't justify it either. Blaming it on upbringing doesn't cut it , basic human civility isn't taught but it is dismissed . We accept it and justify it instead of cutting the cancer out.
Just telling the truth about what happened. I did not say I condone or accept anything. Rice was raised on the streets, it was a street move that he made probably without thinking about it.
Rice grew up in New Rochelle ,NY . Not exactly a dump. I grew up in the dump , the Bronx , and would never use that as an excuse to hit a women . The streets teach you respect and survival not stupidity and this guy's a real butthole.
But does he deserve to have his one and only way to really make a living taken away when the person is the perceived victim is not holding him responsible? People say he should have walked away, to where. He was in an elevator with a drunk woman slapping and spitting on him. How long would you take that? The NFL is not the law, I dont care what their PR people tell them. And for Goodel to act like he didnt know what happened in the elevator? He is the real pig in all of this. He is making a mockery of the NFL. Just a few days ago, he cleared Josh Brent to come back. After serving jail time for killing a man in a high speed DUI accident.
All the ladies in da house want equal rights. Not only when it benefits you ladies. Wanna punch a man and spit on him. Welcome to equal rights. Self defense. Period.
