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.
That makes sense, but how did Gooddell think she got knocked out? You know as well as I do that Rice has been smacking her around for some time. The Players Association won't touch this. Even if Rice went to them for support, they will walk away.
