Doubly punishing players would definitely raise howls from their union, the NFL Players Association ... and the 32 team owners aren’t particularly interested in having their very valuable assets taken away from them.

“Putting your woman in her place” is part of the urban culture. The NFL is dominated by the urban culture, and that partially explains dropping ratings.

Yes, beating females when you are po’ed or frustrated is a long tradition in athletics. Many muscles, few brains.

To paraphrase Fox & Friends, don't get caught beating women on camera and you're safe to play in the NFL.

There's the key. If his fiance was still in a coma and nobody caught the beat down on video, Ray Rice would be suiting up on Sunday.

The NFL players are product, that’s all they are.

That thuggery is the demand of the mob (let’s call the “fans” what they are) isn’t the players’ fault.

"To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his a** off for all his life just to gain ratings is a horrific [sic]. THIS IS OUR LIFE!" she wrote in an Instagram posted today. -Janay Rice

Ray’s REAL sin was doing this on camera.

I disagree. I do agree that the NFL has swept previous incidents under the rug. But I believe this video is going to mark a change in the way future incidents are handled.

Guys got away with it in the past, but I think you're going to see a lot tougher enforcement in the future.

My team felons are not nearly as crooked and sleazy as your team felons.

No wonder they don’t pan and scan over to the wive’s seating section during the games like they do in baseball.

The audience would see a bunch of women in wheel chairs, casts, and black eyes.

Between the thug/gangsta players and the lefty homo sportscasters always pushing their agendas, the NFL has zero appeal to me nowadays. It’s gone from an enjoyable, exciting weekend pasttime to a pathetic and grotesque farce.

The NFL is full of criminals, bloods, crips just to name a few. Wouldn’t surprise me to find a KKK or two or even a hard core biker.
The ratings are dropping as people are catching on.
It’s not what it was

You know folks, we can dance around this all we like, but there is a driving force in this, and nobody wants to take it on, head on.

The popular culture, piped up from the sewer to our children via rap music on top hit radio stations, presents this very picture as the one the cool dudes emulate.

Beat yo ho all night long. She’s a tramp. She’s your property. If she acts out, beat her down...

Right now we’re focused on football players. Hell, they aren’t selling this to our kids. They sell a sport. And yes, some of them act out. I don’t deny it. The NFL isn’t financing spots that tell kids to hit their women. The rap music stars sell the very concept in plan, well scrath that, but something close enough to English that you can still make out the words and thoughts.

Why are we focusing on the NFL?
