FN Mike McCormack. I had to look Ray Rice up to know the issue. Sandy

Apparently, the NFL gave him a two game suspension for punching out his fiance.

I personally think he should have to donate all of his assets to domestic violence shelters.

How about a good old fashioned pay deduction to league minimum for crimes involving stupidity. He treats a football better than his fiancé/wife and gets a slap on the wrist, hmm...

While I'm glad the Ravens cut him, I'm more disappointed that the NFL doesn't seem to hold women and domestic violence in the same serious nature as drug offenses. Rice originally got a measly 2 game suspension, while other players busted for drug and handgun offenses got more serious punishments. To me as a woman, the message Goddell sent was that he doesn't care about his women football fans.

He was charged with FELONY Aggravated Assault. That should tell everyone, including the NFL, that he didn't just give her a "love tap." As always, a shout out to the NFL! Way to set the example!

I certainly do not condone what Ray Rice did, however, I am not so quick to jump on the anti-NFL bandwagon. When we start holding WalMart, Google, Apple, Publix, ToysRUs, Macys, FedEx, UPS, Sears, Outback, Academy Sports, Best Buy, Olive Garden, Ford, GM, Bank of America, etc., etc., etc. responsible for the off-duty conduct of its employees, I'll start holding the NFL accountable.

I recognize the "celebrity status" of NFL players, as compared to someone who works at WalMart, for example. But, bottom line is that the NFL is an employer. What their employees do off-duty that is not a direct impact on their eligibility to play (drugs, for example) should not differ from employees of other businesses.

Just my opinion...

Isn't that just reinforcing the idea that a beat down will motivate someone to keep in line? Could be the wrong message for this guy.
