  • "Rice was banned because of HIS actions, not the actions of anyone else, and he was dumb enough to do it in Vegas where cameras are everywhere.

    Any man who hits a woman in not what I'd call a man in the first place. Rice deserved exactly what he got.

    This happened in Atlantic City, N J. Other then that, I agree with your comments.

  • I think you both missed the point. Ray Rice wasn't cut from the Ravens and kicked out of the NFL because he hit his wife. He was suspended two games because he hit his wife.

    He was cut from the Ravens and kicked out of the NFL because TMZ released footage of Rice knocking his wife out and that made the NFL look even more silly than the two-game suspension itself did.

    Goodell wasn't trying to punish Rice for his actions. He was overcompensating for the weak punishment he handed out the first time.

  • I believe that Rice was cut because he punched his wife, I believe knocking her out or at least to the ground. Robert that isn't excusable in any way.
