yeah this is pretty much the top sports story in the states right now. the NFL and the ravens basically look terrible: he was initially given a slap on the wrist (two-game suspension) this summer after meeting with NFL executives and describing what happened in the elevator. "she attacked me, then i punched her and she fell down." the footage of him dragging her out of the elevator by her hair was leaked this summer but not many people had seen the actual punch. now that everyone has, the NFL is basically just ass-covering by suspending him and the ravens are doing the same by cutting him. what the hell did they think a KO punch of a small woman by an adult man looked like?

seems like the league and the team were hoping this would all go away and people would forget, but they look like wife-beater abettors now. the new jersey DA looks terrible, too -- rice was able to plead into a "diversion" program where he gets counseling instead of going to prison for assault.

mostly, it's sad for jenay palmer and the at least one child she and rice have together.

This is actually the first time I've seen the footage. Fricken disgusting.
Aside from the punch his obvious lack of care as to what he's done when he leaves her half in half out of the elevator is unbelievable.
What's worse is she went on to marry him.

Pretty much sums up the situation.
