Rice Boils Over


The NFL has a public relations nightmare with the revelation of the Ray Rice knockout video tape of his wife's beating. The league claims they have never seen it. I hope they are right. Did anyone affiliated with the league on any level watch it? They said they asked police for all videos related to the investigation. Why did this surface today?

The Baltimore Ravens terminated Rice's $40 million contract and released him. The NFL suspended him indefinitely. It was the only thing they could do.

Domestic violence is wrong on all accounts. Social media serves as a way of policing behavior in this age. This case is nothing new, but surveillance cameras can capture bad behavior 24x7. The internet keeps a story alive forever.
