Sixteen female senators from both parties called on the National Football League Thursday to adopt a zero-tolerance policy on domestic violence. The senators said they were "shocked and disgusted" by a video showing former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee and knocking her unconscious. "Tragically, this is not the only case of an NFL player allegedly assaulting a woman even within the last year," the senators wrote in a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The senators said they were deeply concerned that a new policy Goodell announced last month would let a player commit a violent act and return to the field after a six-game suspension. "If you violently assault a woman, you shouldn't get a second chance to play football in the NFL," the letter said.

She's an unrepentant serial abuser.
I’d like to call for a ban on all senators who ever were convicted of crimes. What a bunch of communist losers.
Having solved all other national problems...
Ray Rice for Senate!
Thank goodness these senators are focusing on THE most important issue of our day here.
That’ll last until the Redskins have a starting QB who smacks around his old lady three days before the NFC Championship Game.
He was put on probation and fined 250k by the NFL.
The trial was televised. Some people found it an entertaining look into the feral lifestyle. I just found it unintelligible. I couldn't understand a word of the testimony.
What about stabbing a child in the privacy of an elevator... if the kid lives is that just ‘a mistake’?
They go to far with the ZERO tolerance thing... they should apply that to the people of congress... One lie and they can never run for office again.
That said, if a player knocks a person out - he should be thrown off the team. That’s not a minor offense.
If they ever instituted a lifetime ban on sexual harassment in the U.S. Congress it would turn over Membership faster than term limits.
