As far as I’m concerned this is a matter for law enforcement. Since Mrs. Rice has apparently declined to press charges that should be the end of it. And I don’t say this as a fan of Rice, the Ravens or even the NFL. Far from it, in fact.
The correct name of the game is “I’m Outrageder Than You”.
Please get it right.
I admit that I haven’t been following this story closely, but I get a sense that the response of feminists to this incident has been very muted ... probably because their whole “equality” agenda is undermined by a video of a woman getting the snot beat out of her in an elevator like that.
I see Ray Rice as innocent because after all he was “unarmed” just like Mike & Trayvon.
He could not possibly have posed a threat to her.
Oh! wait ... he knocked her out...
I am always reminded of black men who come out of prison and are new converts to Islam. Why?
It seems to me that the most potent attraction to Islam is the permission to be a bully against women and anyone else who does not agree with you. Islam is a bully religion. There I’ve said it and I am not sorry to have said it. Islam is a religion of male bullies.
If he had an ounce of credibility he would have quit as soon as Lewis was hired.

“Men and women are different”
we already knew that
TIME and Newsweek already reported this years ago.

I’m against anyone getting punched. Wouldn’t know Rice if I met him on the street. Same standards for everyone.
I never even heard of Ray Rice until this incident and am sick to death of hearing about it. Turned on 3 Channels today and Rice was the subject.
Most people don’t care about him.

Pretty good article and it addresses some of the rather stinky and stupid issues about this story that have been bothering me from the get-go….. there are many hypocrisies but the issue that should concern everyone is basically how firm conclusions have been drawn with virtually no evidence other than everyone’s viewing of a grainy video. Frankly, the only things that we know for sure are… A) the two of them were in the elevator alone, B) there was some argument/pushing/contact prior to them getting on the elevator that continued once they are actually in the elevator, C) she attacked him, D) he stuck her, E) she ended up on the floor unconscious. I think a defense lawyer would have a very very easy time with casting doubt on it simply being a case of ‘him knocking her out’ by asking a few pointed questions…. How much alcohol did she consume this evening? Were there any drugs involved? So she wasn’t actually all that steady on her feet already, was she? So when he struck her, it was actually a case where she had been coming at him a number of times already, right? So you would have to agree that his striking of her was defensive in nature, right? Would he have hit her if she hadn’t of come after him? Did she slip at all during this exchange or were her feet stable on the floor at all times until after she went down? Did she hit her head on the wall or handrail of the elevator on her way to the floor? And how did her head hit the floor? We know that she ended up unconscious….. would you say it was the punch, the wall/handrail or floor that actually knocked her out?
Everyone is so quick to jump on the woman’s ‘everyone butt out’ statement the other day as being a pure example of battered women’s syndrome…… perhaps she is well aware of the fact that the punch from him was not what knocked her out but a closer rendition of what happened is that she was drunk, became a bit unsteady when she took a swing at him and when his fist came in contact with her, she lost her footing and wacked her head hard enough on the wall and the floor to knock her out cold. Unfortunately, presenting this scenario can’t possibly be considered even if it was true…. It just doesn’t the narrative that everyone wants. There has been no statements about the two principals involved, there is no medical evidence released…. nothing. And so what we have is endless discussion about something for which the actual evidence is very thin.
And, though few will say it anymore, we know that among a man’s duties is that ever-important charge to protect and honor women. Men are meant to use their strength to defend women against harm. When a man betrays this responsibility, we act as though he’s turned the world upside down, because he has. The man is not just a generic ‘aggressor’; he is a traitor. He has deserted his post. He was given his strength for a reason. It is supposed to be a shield for the women and children in his life, but he has used it as a weapon against them.
all i know is that if no women ever deserves to be hit no matter what they do or say, then no woman will ever have cause to even think of striking a man for what he does or says.
The reason the NFL wrapped this up months ago is that Jayana testified to Goodell and his clowns that she had forgiven Ray and that they were going to work it all out with Ray Ray getting anti-violence counseling.
The wife has obvious reasons for keeping Ray Ray on the millionaire income track. The feminazis and their male camp followers screwed this all up for Jayna and Ray.
Today Jayna is the most anti-feminist woman on the planet
The reason this situation has libtard panties wadded is that the “optics” aren’t what they want to project. Black on black violence doesn’t fit the narrative, and violence against women is something only tea baggers do. Thus the NFL, a dedicated rat media constituent, tried to downplay it. Then the video got out and they couldn’t ignore it any more. If Rice were white, he would be in prison awaiting sentence by now.
Because he is the only Man who has ever done that?
Because his Fiance wasn’t Nicole Brown’s Sister?
Because his defense wasn’t “the Bitch set me up”?
