She also tried to hit him just before he hit her in the elevator.She hit him first outside the elevator. Everyone who watched the video knows this.
Oh look! Another post by nehalem where he uses made up numbers to prove an idiotic point! Next guy, 1/2 of gays have AIDS!
http://pb.rcpsych.org/content/35/1/33.1.fullin a study of 14 000 young US couples aged 18-28 years, found that 24% of relationships had some violence and half of those were reciprocally violent. In 70% of the non-reciprocally violent relationships women were the perpetrators of violence. Reciprocal violence appears to be particularly dangerous, leading to the highest rate of injury (31.4%). This may be because reciprocal violence is more likely to escalate.
I am skeptical of this claim. Certainly across a wide range of cultures

I agree with Leeland. As I've been saying, just to focus on this one scumbag is to miss the bigger picture. The overall sickness and greed of the society, all the way to the top folks who as always, never face any consequences. Not just in nfl. It is always the lower level guy who is offered up as the sacrifice
I personally wish the same kind of bad press could be waged against the higher ups who some how get to say blanket statement that "We never saw the tape" and nothing else appears to be asked for validation...
I don't know...
What did the video add to the situation? We all knew he knocked her unconscious in the elevator before the footage aired. It added an additional in-your-face shock value. But it didn't really provide us with anything new we didn't already know of the situation.

Is what she's into, she's upset the $$$ has disappeared.Serves him right. His wife is a fucking airhead for acting like this whole thing isn't that big of a deal. He could have killed you, idiot. He's probably still beating your ass at home....oh, its no problem as long as you keep seeing those dollar signs.
Wife stayed with a criminal, woman-beating thug because he's rich, now she's sorry to see the pay check disappear.
AFAYK that wasn't the first time it happened and AFAYK it could have happened a dozen times since then. AFAIK maybe the only lesson Ray learned is to beat her up only in places where he's sure there's no cameras.
This whole Janay Rice outrage bit is nothing more than scripted, planned execution on the Rice family's part. Her marrying him shortly after the original story broke was done for the sole reason that a wife can't be forced to testify against a husband...a financee, well another story. Her faux outrage now is just another scripted move by Ray and his lawyers/consultants. She's not outraged at anything other than her abusive husband being outed and, quite possibly, not being able to continue bringing in the millions she's become used to. Sure, he's made $25M but she, and everyone else knows, it will be gone quickly. If he's not back in uniform soon, her lifestyle will quickly get hard and complicated and she may have to work for a living...*gasp*. It is in her best interest on two fronts here...1 - she still plays like she had something to do with all this so the heat on Ray isn't so bad so she's not cold-cocked again (not sure this one will work anymore...if it even worked the first time) 2 - if, by some miracle, he is reinstated, millions roll in again and she gets to keep living the good life.
But you still don't think people would be upset at what he did?
Besides we're talking about playing a game for a living, which is a privilege not a right. He has a college degree if I remember correctly, so he and Ray Rice should have no problems finding a job outside of the NFL, that is if someone wants to hire them.
I was going to say this. Philly didn't sign him weeks after that incident.

Great point Goodell should stick to fines for late in game hits or long tokes after the game.I'm more outraged the legal system was impotent to punish Rice, than at the NFL for having to clean up after their failure.
Yeah that is racial profiling which also includes noncrimes like marijuana use and false convictions. He meant over all of the population of America.
right, which is why you cant' compare the two population that way. The demographics of athletes in the NFL does not represent the same demographics of the general population of the US--looking at either race or circumstances of upbringing, as a whole. You'd have to compare the NFL population (of athletes) to a more representative population sample within the general population.
Assuming she's not attacking him first. ()Serves him right. His wife is a fucking airhead for acting like this whole thing isn't that big of a deal. He could have killed you, idiot. He's probably still beating your ass at home....oh, its no problem as long as you keep seeing those dollar signs.
