Honest, to the point, and she's right.
Fuck the NFL on this one.
So, TMZ is claiming their sources in the hotel and the police station claim the NFL had access to the elevator video.
Because, had that actually happened, the story would have been "we were in an altercation and I pushed her, she hit her head, and you can see me dragging her to help."
I could have understood if his girlfriend had actually attacked him and he simply overreacted and on reflex hit her.
The problem with the suspension is all sources are saying the NFL had access to all the tapes, not just the outside one.
TMZ was able to obtain them, why couldn't the NFL?
Goodell is just self serving in this case. It became bad publicity, so he reacted and banned Ray Rice. Had this video never surfaced on TV, nobody would give a shit. And that is the real problem. The NFL doesn't care about player conduct as much as it cares about public opinion and harming their brand. They are willing to let tons things go, so long as the public isn't made aware.
Also, I have to agree with the Raven's player who is saying the news networks shouldn't have this video on repeat. After I watched it online, I saw it on TV quite a few times. I can't imagine that is easy for the victim to watch.
Have you seen the video?
Yes, yes, Janay. Ray Rice didn't do this to himself. TMZ did it to him.- Janay Rice

the NFL buried their head in the sand on this one, because they don't want any more negativity.
Banning him made the situation worse, wife thinks so as well.
Wife stayed with a criminal, woman-beating thug because he's rich, now she's sorry to see the pay check disappear.
Not buying that for a second. If they suspended him while purposely not looking at evidence in the case the union would have owned their ass. They had an obligation to look at all the tapes as part of their investigation before they could do jack shit about it. I agree that they didn't want the negativity and tried to plead ignorance of the tape hoping it would never be made public, but they damn well knew about it and saw every frame of it.
Possible, but I think this demeans her to fill a simplistic narrative.
I think she demeaned herself when she failed to do the right thing and get this guy behind bars the first time it happened. If a woman tolerates getting beat up and goes back for more there's nothing anyone can do to demean her further.
Right, but my claim is that they weren't looking for evidence. I seriously don't believe they had this tape, saw it, and only gave Rice two flipping games well knowing that it would eventually be made public...I don't think they're that stupid.
AFAIK it hasn't happened again.
And your claim doesn't hold water because EVERYONE ON EARTH knew there was a tape from inside the elevator. They didn't need to go looking for it, that tape was part of the evidence right from the very first minute. The only reason they would have to purposely bury it is if they knew what was on it and the only way to know what was on it would be to view it. Without viewing it there was a chance that it would help to exonerate Rice and defuse the situation and they damn sure would view it to know for sure.
Well, I hear ya there. You simply don't have the tape from only the outside of the elevator without having the tape from the inside as well.
After suspending Gordon for a year for failing a comparatively non-essential drug test, I find it difficult (though not impossible) to believe they would only give two games to a guy after busting his now wife in the face twice and knocking her cold, alongside the dragging video.
im pretty sure most people would not get fired from their job for doing what he did
he should not have gotten fired from his

+1 for this and for a GR8 username!!We've already gone over this. If there was a video on the news of me punching out my wife, I'd be fired. No company wants that kind of heat or to be viewed as someone who is accepting of those kinds of actions.
So she spits on him, and he decks her unconscious.
And these are the kind of people the society and media glamorizes. The kids and youth hero worship them. The rich and the famous, the ones who can run with a ball.
And then we wonder why is our society going down the gutter. We deserve it.
