This ultimately is a criminal matter... Unless the guy is in jail convicted of a crime....the NFL should let him play....

The two game suspension was apporopiate for his actions in breaking a part of his contract...

Flame away....btw I hate the Ravens....but PC is killing the NFl....

Pete Rose is banned form baseball for life for betting on the game. He has never been tried or convicted for that. The Black Sox were acquitted and banned for life the very next day.

Alex Rodriguez was banned for a year for PEDs.

Many football players have been banned without criminal charges.

What we know Rice did is reprehensible. He may have a right to make a living, but not in an industry that brings with it public adulation.

Agreed. The NFL overreached on this, in too big a hurry to please the mediots. If his wife wants to file charges, so be it. If the jurisdiction wants to file charges without a complaint from the victim, so be it. The NFL is not the judicial system, even though Roger Goodell seems to think the NFL trumps the legal system.

PC is killing the NFL I grant you, but in this the Courts should have NO authority on this matter.

Where's the passion to get Pete Rose reinstated in Baseball? All the man did was gamble, and NOT on his own team yet he's banned for life, his records don't exists anymore....

Waiting for you to start a campaign about that one.
