Because now we see it in clear view. Yes we knew she was hit, and yes I agree it should have been greater punishment. But this was a blatant shot to the face, which we did not know prior.
As opposed to what?? Of course she was punched in the head. A video being leaked changes absolutely nothing. We've known all along that he clocked his woman with force in the head.
This is absolutely ridiculous! I know I might be in the minority here, but what kind of message does this bull sh*t cowardly PR move really send??
The league and team and EVERYONE knew he punched her and knocked her out. The Ravens organization wasn't disgusted enough to do a thing about it. The the full video comes out and they go into damage control.
You can't expect me to believe that the NFL office hadnt seem the full video either. Did the casino edit the footage down and only show a part of it?? I'm not buying it. The NFL had seen this, they knew the full scope, it was being kept hidden, and now it's too late.
I'm seriously disgusted with the league right now. It's all about perception. So we all fail to remember Brandon Marshall beating up his lady?? Where's his season long ban? Where's the public outcry?? Ohhhh..there wasn't a viral video, so it's ok.
League is full of violent, drunk, weed smoking, wife beating, degenerate gamblers, and criminals, but it's only a black eye on the league if the public sees it with their own eyes. What do we expect?? Look at these muscle heads! Are we surprised by crimes from dudes who spend their careers smashing violently into eachother?? Wake up people. We LOVE the violence of the sport. How many people laughed and cheered when Antonio Brown kicked that punter in the face yesterday??
