Ray Rice, 2 weeks for knocking out his wife. Really??

[ACoochy]

Just when you think people from north america couldnt be anymore warped in distinguishing the difference between right and wrong.

Is this the nfl's way of saying to women that they dont mean anything in not only the nfl but wider society??

FUKK THE NFL and everything it stands for.

[pavyracer]

If they punish him more than 2 weeks they will be actually punishing his wife since he is the bread maker.

[Vegas39]

the 2 games cost him over 529K while seriously wrong a lot harsher punishment than most that do the same stupid shit

I wonder if ur wife feels the same...

The NFL: Because hitting women is cool 👍👍

Then what does that say about the concept of equality in 2014 america?

It exists but only when money doesn't come into existence...

Its like we have become morally corrupt to the dollar and would excuse almost any type of behavior in order to have it...

I agree but living in US seen idiots do same with no consequences

Yeah but do you really want to compare yourself to countries like Russia and Iran when it comes to this issue because thats what this ruling is relatively comparable to?

"allegedly"

remember this is USA where you are innocent until proven guilty.

Oberman is an idiot.

OP turns every news event into an oppurtunity to bash america

Not my fault that realism is too much for your perceptual ineptness to handle.

Thats ur fukk up, not mine..

[King Mayan]

Chin check bitch

"allegedly"

remember this is USA where you are innocent until proven guilty.

Hell yeah.

Remember its only a crime if you dont get away with it (which is effectively what rice has done).

So does the punishment fit the crime?

Bottom line. The rule of law (and its consequences) is defined by how much money one has and not adherence to a crime v punishment ideal, which is what your forefathers fought for.

[Big Bear]

Hell yeah.

Remember its only a crime if you dont get away with it (which is effectively what rice has done) when one compares the 'punishment' to the crime...

i havent followed the story closely i am just saying dont believe half of what you read..

He was caught on film.

[jjgold]

He is just an animal like most of them

He will be in jail like most of them when he is older

Its a societal problem so race card wont work here.

Further affirms my theory that we are all sociopaths to one degree or another.

Speak for yourself guy

[ACoochy]

Speak for yourself guy

Well them explain to me how it is that we hear and see all these fukked up happenings going on in the world and as human beings we choose to almost wantingly ignore the plights of other humans who (through no fault of their own) are in circumstances far less fortunate than ours?

I call it mastering the art of self manipulation, something I hope to never acquire.

I've said this in another thread and I'll repeat it again 16 game season his missing 1/8 of it.Thats plenty. And its not like theirs footage of him actually beating her. On top of it all they worked things out after, doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Honestly I don't think he should have been suspended at all. Its an off the field incident and he didn't break any NFL policies no need for the league to punish him after he went to court for it.

Wonder if youd feel the same if u were his wife...

[texhooper]

Beating your wife is still a "but can he dance" type crime in America. There's a few of these.

He slept with kids...but can he dance?

He beat the shit out of his girl...but can he dance?

He raped a woman...but can he dance?

Given the popularity of Law and Order SVU, you would think these disgusting crimes would be grounds to blacklist anyone from the sports or entertainment world, but it isn't. As an American, it's disgusting, and I don't fault the OP, who I assume is not American, for passing this judgment. God knows we judge other countries all the time here.

[KRIT]

Easyliving is correct. 2 game suspension is fair for NFL. Equivalent to 20 games in MLB and 10 games in NBA.

I forgot, is he facing actual legal charges?

[texhooper]

We applaud the banishment of a senile old nba owner for racist comments, yet when it comes to any kind of sexual abuse, domestic violence, etc, we still pull the "but we don't know all the details" or specifically, in this case, "but what about his charity". Any excuse we can find to keep a dancer dancing, a singer singing, or an athlete running. I can't stand it.

[thechaoz]

He'd better go light on Aldon Smith. With rehab and and all that really there should be no suspension if this is the marker

If that was your mother or sister, you wouldn't be asking about the law.

[easyliving]

OP is clearly just another 1 of those foreigners that is looking for a reason to hate on the US. Its a different idiot every week trying to take shots at the US and miserably failing. The 1 thing they all have in common is that they will attack the US but will never mention what country they are originally from. How about you tell us where your from so I can name the thousands of things wrong with your country.

[easyliving]

last I checked they weren't even married at the time, actually know the full story before your gonna judge someone. And apparently she had no issues with it and they worked things out and got married after the incident.

Tex im not here to purposefully bash but the punishment is basically justifying thats its ok to hit a woman.

Thats where the sociopathic element comes into it.

If I were a female id be scared by this ruling as its saying to people thats its ok to bash women provided you have money..

Its well known that fear can buy alot of silence but hey its her fault because her head somehow got in the way of his fist, right?
