I suspect that every person on this board has gotten hit. Maybe not through sheer violence, but we've all taken a shot to the button. I've been in fights and have taken a couple hooks straight to the jaw. I didn't go dark. I've taken a flying leap and helmet to helmet blow extending for a pass in a football game - saw stars, didn't go out.
We KNEW Ray Rice absolutely beat the shit out of that woman. He got, what, 2 games?
When the video surfaced, he was effectively banned from the league.
The video shouldn't have been necessary. It shouldn't have changed things even the slightest bit.
But it very obviously did.

Absolutely agree, but seeing Rice wreck a car and fleeing the scene somehow gets people as outraged or moreso than confirmed domestic violence without video?
Something isn't right there, and it's not the video, it's the fact that Rice is a talented Chief and we're coming of B2B going for a 3 peat.
People hardly even give a shit about domestic violence if it's not on video (Sutton), or violence against a man on video (Kamara), but all of a sudden they're really serious about street racing? Calling for him to be suspended half a season to a full season? Hoping we outright cut him?
