What changed? Everyone knew it wasn't a slap.... You don't knock someone out cold with a slap.... Yet now that the video goes public the Ravens and NFL take the hard line..... They already knew what happened...

I think I am with ER here.... I don't condone what he did and I don't care if he plays again.... But this video changes nothing.

What the Ravens did here is disturbing. They blindly stand behind Rice when they knew what happened until they were forced by immenent public outcry to cut him. An act that is almost as cowardly as the action that started the whole thing.

Lost a lot of respect for the Ravens organization over how they handled this.

Goodell is full of sh!t as well, trying to claim he didn't know what was on the video.... Bullsh!t, I think he had seen or a direct report had seen it....

Its all disappeared but I saw in reports when he was suspended the first time that Goodell HAD seen the video from inside the elevator and that he was one of only a few who were ever supposed to see it.

I remember hearing the same thing. Goddell saw this thing right away, it was going to stay out of the publics hands, and he handed down a punishment. It was only after the fans flipped out that he went another direction.

Every move that has been made has been done so to please the public. The league doesn't actually care about domestic violence, or the dude would have gotten lit up immediately by the league.

From pft:

Ravens coach John Harbaugh says the emergence of a video showing Ray Ricepunching his wife changed everything.

Harbaugh, who was previously supportive of Rice after he was arrested and charged with domestic violence, says he and the rest of the decision makers in Baltimore — owner Steve Bisciotti, President Dick Cass and G.M. Ozzie Newsome — knew they had to cut Rice.

“After seeing the video this morning, we had a chance to get together with Steve, Dick, Ozzie and myself,” Harbaugh said. “We had a meeting — it was not a long meeting — and we came to the decision that we came to, to release Ray. That’s what we did. I had a chance to talk to Ray, along with Ozzie. . . . I have nothing but hope and good will for Ray and Janay and we’ll do whatever we can going forward to help them as they go forward.”

Harbaugh said he hadn’t seen the video until TMZ published it because “it wasn’t made available.”

“It’s something we saw for the first time today, all of us. And it changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different,” Harbaugh said.

Harbaugh added, however, that he still believes Rice can make positive changes in his life.

“Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand behind,” Harbaugh said.

not sure why you want to crucify them. I assume that Ray lied to them about what happened. Maybe he told them he slapped her, she fell...blah,blah blah....

They took him at his word because he never has been in trouble before. Video comes out that shows the brutality of the situation and they cut him almost right away.....

Seriously..... A slap is going to knock you out cold? They saw they after effects.... A slap? Come on..... They knew what he did.... They knowingly looked the other way and supported him.....Harbaugh still says this: Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand behind,”

They only cut him when they head no other choice.... Not because it was right, because they were backed into a corner. Again, that video didn't change Dick.... The NFL knew what happened.... The Ravens knew what happened..... The world knew what happened.... You didn't need the video to know. Show me a slap that knocks anyone out cold?

Sorry, Ravens handled this very poorly.

Again, not the year a Raven fan wants to talk about arrest records......

But classic rat bird fans, let's not talk about their team covering this up and supporting him all year, let's try to talk about another team...

They screwed this one up.... Hard to argue any other way.

A slap that results in a drunk losing their balance and hitting their head on the floor/railing.....( I know this isn't what happened but RR could of told them that)

Don't put this on them, they took his word. There fault was in believing him.....
