One is on video, the other wasn’t. That plays a huge role. Instead of being a quick headline that people read about and move on from (the average person doesn’t click links and read stories, let’s be honest), the video gets plastered on every form of social media and gets seen by tens of millions.

I didn’t think the Kareem Hunt video was that bad, for the record. He kicked that girl like you’d kick your dog to get him off the couch.. but I think that actually strengthens my point. TMZ plastered that video everywhere with the headline “Kareem Hunt BRUTALIZES woman” and it completely drives a specific narrative. With no video that whole ordeal would have been a huge nothing. |

2 games tops if Goodell wasn't garbage

If the video makes it look like jack and shit, which it does, then the video does not make it worse. Both things cant be true at the same time. The video isn't really damaging outside of them walking away. But that doesn't make the video super violent or dangerous looking. |
But they were casually walking away, as if they robbed someone. And had drugs and weapons and stolen merchandise. You can tell, based on the "reports" from totally not biased Texans seeing black youths on a highway in fancy cars.

The video had very little impact on anything. Of course a video of a man putting his hands on a woman is a game changer. It's juicy. A video of a car wreck that wasn't even deadly, and shows nobody getting hurt, isn't going to move the needle at all. To this day, I remember exactly what the Ray Rice and Hunt videos looked like. I can hardly even remember the Rice video already. I cant even believe you're trying to make this reeruned ass argument. |

I think this is actually a big part of the reason car accidents are so dangerous. People are so flippant about getting inside a 3,000 pound box of metal traveling at insane speeds. They overestimate their own ability and underestimate the danger. I don’t think I’m going to change your mind on the actual collision looking “bad” or not but we know Rashee was driving at speeds in excess of 115 mph on a major highway near rush hour, we have him on video drag racing up the median going, and causing a five or six car pileup spanning the entire four lanes. At one point two card ended up sideways, backwards. A video is always going to get more play than an article. Blame our short attention spans or low literacy rates, but that’s just the way it is. |
On second thought he shouldn't even be suspended. Especially with no proof of anything at the moment of wrong doing

When the videos of Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt were released, it changed EVERYTHING. It was so bad that it meant the teams had to move on after trying to get away with a slap on the wrist.
The Rashee Rice video changed absolutely nothing. The reaction tells you everything you need to know about how bad the video is from an optics perspective. Everybody knew there was an accident/wreck. Seeing it doesn't really have an emotional impact. Seeing somebody commit domestic violence is the kind of breaking news video that makes thing significantly worse. Video of Kamara and his possee beating the **** out of a guy didn't even move the needle much in terms of national outrage, but I'm supposed to believe a video of a car wreck did? LMAO |
Another Staylor going HAM on Virus thread again :)

Un biased opinion...0 games for Rashee based on the video

IMO Goodell is afraid of looking like a pushover and setting a precedent, so there has to be something done in this situation to try to stave off other young players from being dumb down the road. |

Its crazy how those in sports media amped this up, which was done because the Chiefs being without a promising WR is great click bait.
I mean even Chiefs podcasters have speculated about 8 games. It's ridiculous. Are you going to suspend played who are driving under the influence of alcohol or pot because they "could" have killed somebody? To me that's what you have to look at here if you are the NFL. It's an auto accident. The guy that got hurt didn't want Rice to be charged with assault. Its one thing to make an example out of domestic abuse cases, if you choose to make an example out of Rice you better be willing to suspend anyone for 8 games with impaired driving. |
