Ravens release Ray Rice

I'm sorry I ended up as a punching bag. Boy, if that isn't a battered woman I don't know what is. She better start figuring out divorce papers before the money dries up.

The thing that frustrates me the most is this:

The fact that they have a kid together makes this one big cluster. Even more than that, the thing that really scares me is that having Ray Rice for a Dad increases the risk that his daughter could easily end up attracted to abusive a-holes like, well Ray Rice, when she grows up.

How the abusive behavior of fathers effect their daughters?

The father-daughter relationship influences how grown-up daughters feel about themselves as women.

It can influence their choice of an intimate partner.

The daughters of an abusive father may, as an adult, be more susceptible to domestic violence, eating disorders, alcoholism or drug abuse and sexual promiscuity.


Granted its not guaranteed that Ray Rice's daughter will seek out abusive a-holes but just like many people with a family history of alcoholism need to be careful around booze (ie the alcoholism gene), people who are around abusive or traumatic experiences like domestic violence need to be careful, with, well basically everything when they grow up (dating, drugs, alcohol, eating habits).

I don't condone hitting women at all. Everyone is so PC now days but that video shows to drunk or almost there, people arguing her knock out blow was the railing. If he beats her ass every day then he got what he had coming. if was a moment of passion you have to take it with a grain of salt. She hit him first, he hit her back and now his life is ruined. I did not see rampage where she got the every living shit beat out of her. It is fucked situation and that is something they need to work out. All the people ypu see on camera are only thinking how they look and come off on camera. they had 7 months and they thought it was water under the bridge.

Never hit a woman.........

A moment of passion can do serious damage, likewise a single punch. When I was living in the city a guy died from a single punch to the head, out cold and head hit the sidewalk. This situation could have ended much worse.

There's just no defending it or rationalizing it. I wish people would stop trying to.

I dont want to come across like im backing homeboy im not. I just hate the fact that it seems like once the video came out thats when people gave a shit. I was raised by a single mother who went through all that violence and i was a scared little kid that couldnt protect her. that shit breaks my heart and it stills fucks with today 20 years later. I dont and will never condone it. i dont apologize for my comment I hate bandwagoon folks.

Agreed. The situations where you can even start to consider rationalizing it are so extreme and rare that 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999% of the time it boils down to a guy being a scumbag. The Ray Rice fiasco doesn't even come close to having any sort of justification.

Tiger Woods basically got concussed by his wife, after a golf club through a window to the face caused him to crash his car, and still never laid a hand on her.

How else should people react to a video like that? Plenty of people had their concerns about Rice before seeing it, I don't think anyone agreed with the lame 2 game suspension.

I honestly feel that Rice's people hid things when it first happened; and the Ravens were too quick to sweep everything under the rug. I personally feel the video is just so sickening and shocking, that it led to the reaction.

I tell ya, they need to run the john harbaugh press conference the first time he addressed this issue. Harbaugh and the ravens organization can go to hell. Eff them all.

That 2 game suspension was bull. I really cant give a good answer. I really dont know. I just dont like the talking heads jumping all over the ship when they should done it from the get go. Who knows.
