Ray Rice cut by Ravens, suspended by NFL
http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/08/us/ray...ew-video/forum
All I can say is hallelujah! Too bad he didn't get to play one game just so he could get the shit kicked out of him by the other team.

That happens everyday for various reasons.

Well, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a woman who was pressured into apologizing for her role in having the daylights beaten out of her might have felt that she didn't have a lot of support.

I am not ready to sing the Ravens praises. If you base "taking the matter seriously" only on their actions yesterday afternoon then I suppose you could credit them with responding appropriately. However, that isn't the case. They have known for months that something happened. They have supported and defended him all along, even praised him. They claim they haven't seen the tape, which in a technicality *may* be true. However, they did see the video from the hallway with him dragging her, and certainly had the ability to seek out the elevator tape for more information, but they actively chose not to do that.
To make matters worse on May 22 @Ravens tweeted this: "Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident." article with copy of tweet
For them to believe that that tiny woman was an aggressor and that Ray Rice just acted in self defense is the sickest bunch of filth that I have heard in a long time.
The Ravens only acted because they knew they had a PR disaster on their hands, not because it was the right thing to do. They have had months to do the right thing, including fully investigating the incident, but did not.

It's called battered persons syndrome.
Quote:
When Battered Person Syndrome (BPS) manifests as PTSD, it consists of the following symptoms: (a) re-experiencing the battering as if it were recurring even when it is not, (b) attempts to avoid the psychological impact of battering by avoiding activities, people, and emotions, (c) hyperarousal or hypervigilance, (d) disrupted interpersonal relationships, (e) body image distortion or other somatic concerns, and (f) sexuality and intimacy issues.[6]
Additionally, repeated cycles of violence and reconciliation can result in the following beliefs and attitudes:[7]
The abused thinks that the violence was his or her fault.
The abused has an inability to place the responsibility for the violence elsewhere.
The abused fears for their life and/or the lives of their children (if present).
The abused has an irrational belief that the abuser is omnipresent and omniscient.

He was charged, and plead our for some sort of rehab program or some other bullshit.
The statement his wife released broke my heart and I only hope all of this hasn't been taken out on her and that she's safe.

And the CFL, too. Even Canada doesn't want him.

I have a good friend who recently became engaged to a man with a criminal record a mile long, much of it related to domestic violence (i.e. beating the living crap out of women he dated in the past). He's also an alcoholic and drug addict, albeit "recovered". She's beautiful, college-educated, owns her own successful business, and has never lacked attention from the male sex. But she "loves him so much". It boggles my mind. Denial is a powerful, powerful force.

New information has come out that says that the NFL did receive the Ray Rice video in April: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11...xecutive-april
This would be damning for Roger Goodell, because it would mean he had seen the video and chose to give Rice a two-game suspension regardless, as well as implicating Goodell as a liar for claiming the NFL tried to get the video but never received it. First time in my life I've actually been excited for such a media frenzy, because we're covering this incident in real time in my Communications classes.

I have to say that I'm really disappointed by all the FB posts of people saying things like, "The Ravens turned their back on Ray Rice but, when my family and I turn our backs, we will be wearing Ray Rice jerseys" and other things like, "I support Ray Rice." What? What is wrong with people?

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