Ravens terminate Ray Rice contract after elevator attack video comes out fox8.com

WOW! The video did it!

 

[Mojo2]

The video points out what many non-Ghetto folks don't understand.

You don't charge at a Brother when he's heated like that and rush all up in his grille without incurring the risk of getting popped.

I'd have hit her my DAMN self!

You don't get to play in the NFL and have a huge contract if you get caught on tape...after a few weeks...if the public goes bonkers.

 

[deltex1]

I think the guy should get some slack...he is a football player...not a community organizer.

 

[saveliberty]

Was he up for a Nobel Peace Prize?

 

[rightwinger]

I don't see how they could do anything else

But I suspect dumping his 3 yds a carry and huge contract played a role in the decision

 

[HUGGY]

I think the guy should get some slack...he is a football player...not a community organizer.

Really?

What community organizer organization would hire him now?

And they called Sherman a "thug".

Huh, I find it interesting how the media pretending that they had no idea what happened.

Hypocrisy at every level everywhere.

The funny thing is how the ESPN types will praise Floyd Mayweather. Ever see his rap sheet? I also find it interesting how the fiance has stood behind Ray Rice. Anyway, once things get on video, all of a sudden people pretend that they had no idea what had happened.

Floyd Mayweather Jr

• In 2002, Floyd Mayweather Jr pleaded guilty to 2 charges of misdemeanor domestic violence.
• In 2004, Mayweather received a 1 year suspended jail sentence, was ordered to seek counseling for “impulse control”, and fined a $1000 after being convicted for misdemeanor battery of 2 women in a Las Vegas nightclub.
• In 2004, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Grand Rapids, Michigan for failure to appear at a trial. He was accused of kicking a bouncer in the head at a bar. Mayweather pleaded no contest to misdemeanor assault and battery. He was fined and ordered to perform community service.
• In 2005, Floyd was found innocent in a trial for assaulting his girlfriend outside a Las Vegas club in 2003. The girlfriend, also the mother of his children, changed her story on the stand.
• In 2009, Police executed a search warrant on Floyd’s house because witnesses identified Mayweather’s car leaving the scene of a shooting at a Las Vegas skating rink. Witnesses also identified one of Mayweather’s associates as the shooter.

Ray waited too long to blame Bush.

The tape has been out for most of this time hasn't it?

Must be part of the reduce concussions program?

The video points out what many non-Ghetto folks don't understand.

You don't charge at a Brother when he's heated like that and rush all up in his grille without incurring the risk of getting popped.

I'd have hit her my DAMN self!

And thats why that brother is out on his black ass

 

[Gracie]

I saw the vid this morning while browsing AOL news. He knocked her out....then dragged her half way out of the elevator. Some guy walks up and just stands there. Other people gather and stand there. FINALLY, someone comes up and hugs her and helps her to her feet while everyone else just stands there probably in awe of the asshole that just sucker punched her (eye roll)....and to top it all off...the stupid bitch married him anyway.
Glad he is kicked out, but she needs to see a shrink.

 

[antiquity]

I think the guy should get some slack...he is a football player...not a community organizer.

Really?

What community organizer organization would hire him now?

And they called Sherman a "thug".

The Raven did the right thing and now I am waiting for Santa Clara to do the right thing in both the Smith and McDonald cases

That's why you are still in the ghetto, and Ray Rice will be joining you shortly!

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Rice has only himself to blame.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Come on guise admit it. You only care about how it affects yer Fantasy Football Team right?

You don't even know that womans' name.

 

[HUGGY]

I'm sure it's something like Shawnique Money A L'l T's

 

[JimH52]

Gooddell has former FBI agents working for him, but he could not get this video? Really?
Roger got some plainin to do....

Yes, she apologized and talked his felony down to a misdemeanor...and then he marries her. AMAZING WHAT LOVE CAN DO.

Radio talk show host, Joe Pags, just cited the wisdom of comedian, Chris Rock, on this subject.

Rock said Ray Rice wasn't fired because of the assault on his (now) wife.

He got a two game suspension for the assault.

Getting fired from the entire NFL was due to the world SEEING THE ASSAULT ON VIDEOTAPE.

One shouldn't get a sterner or an extra discipline just because an offense can be SEEN rather than mentally realized.

The NFL KNEW of his offense when they gave him the two game suspension.

If he was going to be fired completely for the assault the fact of that assault should have been enough grounds for the termination without seeing the newly released elevator tape.

I'll admit this makes some sense.

 

[Rocko]

The problem is another team will just pick him up and probably give him big contract to boot. The guy should be banned from the NFL.
