I think he prolly tolt that bitch

I'm rethinking my entire stance on this. The media once again has blown this shit way out into the court of public opinion.

Irregardless of the fact that he knocked out his soon to be wife, something he should have gone to jail for.

So he knocks her out, she forgives him, her family forgives him, no charges are brought against him. She marries him. The league sends down it's punishment of 2 games ...whatever.

Now after the video comes out they ban him, for what? Something they already knew took place? There were no charges brought against him. What makes the NFL judge, jury and executioner? If they felt that way off the bat then they should have banned him then.

People have been taking to Twitter with the hashtags #WhyIStayed and #WhyILeft to bring forth their stories about domestic violence.

Because Twittering will make the world a better place.

Anyhoo, DiGiorno saw the #WhyIStayed hashtag and, without knowing the context of it, thought it'd be a great way to advertise their "not delivery" brand pizza:

People were not happy about this, so DiGiorno apologized:

Guess that's what you get for jumping the gun in the heat of a Twitter-battle.

As with most things, there has been a rush to judgment over this incident. All we really know is what we see in the video. There is no audio available and people are mostly blaming Rice.

How do we know that she didn't backtalk or refuse to make a sammich? There are two sides to every story.

It's a private matter - PERIOD.

NFL = bunch of douchebags. Reactionary and PR'ing "cover their asses" douchebags. Goodell is a fucking liar. There was no hard stance in place when it happened. Now the NFL is in damage control. Rice was wrong. His wife has forgiven him. They are in counseling. He's dealing with his employer over it.

NONE OF ANYONE ELSE'S BUSINESS!

Unfortunately for Rice, 35% of NFL fans are women. That means the brand takes a huge hit.

Dollas be driving!

I call BS on that, it wouldn't have affected shit. People would have still gone to the games. People would have bitched and moaned about it for 3-4 weeks and moved on to something else.

I wish the league would just go ahead and ban the Saints and their cheating ways.

If there were any backlash at all NFL would solve it by "allowing" teams to wear "black eye purple" accessories for domestic violence awareness campaigns.

Fucking ESPN....

So Jason Whitlock says to stop showing the video. Unless you need to show it.

Quote

ESPN's "SportsCenter" stopped running the elevator video Tuesday morning, and likely won't use it againunless there is a new, specific news reason to do so. ESPN.com also has chosen to no longer feature the video. Other TV networks were still using the video liberally Tuesday evening, and so were plenty of web sites and blogs.

rest of story here: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11499192/stop-showing-ray-rice-assault-video-survivor-says
tldr version: Janay Rice is a victim replaying the video over and over hurts her.
