Ravens release Ray Rice
 

This should've happened a couple of months ago, but at least it happened.

I don't think the Ravens really had a choice. How do you keep the guy after the public has seen that video?

Better late than never.

This. Public outcry can play a huge part if the outcry is large enough.

He lost the support of his teammates too.

The cynical side of me is sure someone will have him on a roster next year. Ravens will have to eat 9-10 million dollars of Cap space next year.

They should have did this back when they saw the video months ago. They are only doing it due to the public backlash of seeing it. His wife's story didn't jive with that she instigated it.

Roger Goodell has announced that based on new video evidence that became available today he has
indefinitely suspended Ray Rice.

Fox is a piece of shit, but how in the fuck could they have the audacity to say this.

Ravens on Rice: "We were totally okay with RR clobbering his wife until after you all watched it on video."

Shhhhhhhhh. Don't tell Stephen A. Smith

It's still a very melancholy feeling though. Being able to say I told you so to so many people who played the 'you weren't there, you didn't see what happened' card seems like it should be more satisfying. Instead I feel rather disgusted after seeing that video.

I do believe the NFL's claim that they hadn't seen the video until recently though.

Article from February:

Still it was pretty obvious based on the original evidence that this offense was much worse than a 2 game ban.

These guys are such a fucking joke. They really are. Much like the NCAA on Penn State.

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice
 

Before the Ray Rice saga began, who knew that we'd all be criticizing Goodell for being too lenient?

Re: Ravens release Ray Rice
 

I can not believe Espn just went to a Fantasy Football guru to talk about the impact of Rice's release.
