I wish I had a Ray Rice jersey so I could trade it in for the free pizza a place is offering.

I guess I'm really fortunate that I'm not seeing that kind of BS on Facebook. I think those people are doing you a favor by letting you know that you need to de-friend them (or hide them from your feed if they are family).

Adrian Peterson was arrested on child abuse charges. I'd like to hope that these recent events will open up a dialogue about the ways hero worship of professional athletes has become unhealthy and detrimental to our society.

Thanks. I couldn't remember every person who had gotten in trouble with the law or CPS, though it happened recently. I agree. We need to have a discussion about what should and should not be tolerated.

I have to preface this with saying I think there's no excuse for domestic violence and I don't support this individual in any way.

However, I've never heard of anybody losing their job over a non-felony - non-conviction (it's a weird legal status he was in but it won't show on his record as a conviction if he meets the requirements set by the court) so... who should be losing their jobs over convictions that have nothing to do with their ability to do their jobs overall? I get it if someone in retail is fired for shoplifting at another store. But, should what happens in your personal life result in consequences by your employer? I have a hard time with this principle in general.

If someone had a DUI but was say.. a computer programmer... who didn't get jail time for it, should that person be fired?

I'm trying to understand when this is ok and when it isn't.

If I was that woman's father or brother, he'd have lost a lot more than just his job. I'd be in prison after the fact, but mission accomplished. Punk mofo$&@@""!

Lol did you just see the video? I just didn't see any other posts over here from you. That's why I was asking. Too funny. I hear you, though.

I saw it for the first time yesterday, and it ticked me off. That's the first thing I asked... "Does she have family?" And if so, "How is that fool still living?" Again, if that was my sister (she has a father, a mother, and two brothers), I can guarantee you, Ray Rice or any other abusive dude who puts his hands on her would not be living. Period. I come from a family who doesn't play that siht, man.

And considering a very high up person at my ex-employer recently got sacked because he couldn't keep it in his pants (or at least be discreet about it) this isn't just a famous-people thing either.
