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.

Sad state of affairs when some wife beater's contributions to the team owner's Benjamins outweighs the justice system or the respect and decency expected between a husband and wife. I wonder what threaded her along through all this? She should have been eating "Rice balls" for breakfast that following morning.

I couldn't agree with you more Lisa! The power and corruption surrounding most (maybe all) Sports franchises just makes me ill!

I think she was thinking it was worth the beatings for the money sadly. I think a lot of people think they can tolerate something like that for the money. It will be interesting to see how long she stays with him now that he has been cut.

Baltimore Ravens cut Ray Rice after new video surfaces
Ray Rice was let go by the Ravens on Monday and suspended indefinitely by the NFL after a video was released that appears to show him striking his then-fiancee.

Finnally! Even the NFL can come around and did the right thing after enough pressure, amazing.

Yes, I am super satisfied that Goodel realized he initially made the wrong decision. Justice has been served!!!!

Yeah its the NFL. Somebody had to throw a flag for the refs to come and review the video tape to alter the ruling on the field - new video tape surfaces, my left butt cheek. Does Baltimore get charged a timeout on this? :-) We sure as hell know RR gets charged a BIG timeout.

That guy is an absolute tool and should be banned for life. No room for any of that in my book.

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

PO1 (Join to see) I understand the sentiment, but I do not agree with registries. IMO we should keep violent offenders locked up, or release them with punishment served. I think we are breaking the fourth amendment with registries. These registries place an undue burden upon released ex-cons by placing them on the top of a suspect list without proof further than past deeds, often with searches performed on their property solely based upon past conviction (already paid in punishment). If we can't treat them as normal citizens we should keep them locked up.

SSG Trevor S. do you feel the same way about felons not owning firearms, Unable to vote and unable to serve jury duty? Each of these are states rights taken from felons to some degree.

Cpl (Join to see) Yes I do, when punishment is finalized it should be final. Now it is different , IMO, if they are still under punishment as in parole or probation.

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...

Now maybe "Mrs." Rice will wizen up and dump his ass seeing as he is no longer bringing in the bacon.

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...

And COL Larry Brede should know, as he was my boss, both in the military and in civilian life, and is used to having to clean up after me on several occasions due to my lack of being politically correct.
