Ray Rice Cut and suspended indefinitely-------- Bout Time NFL.

What a pig. That was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. Not only did he stone cold knock her out, he didn't even seem to care that he did. He dragged her out of the elevator and basically just left her there. Didn't even take her all the way out.
#### you Ray Rice. I hope you go to prison and become someone's #### for the rest of your life.

What's worse is people commenting on Youtube saying that since she hit him first, it was ok for Rice to hit her like that. Pricks.

I wonder if Goodell won't end up stepping down because of this... I am reading where the NFL knew about the second video long ago. This will be an interesting story for the next few weeks...

Exactly. The first video was bad enough. Just dragging her around like she's a trash bag? You're a big tough-guy football player, right? Pick her up and get her out of the elevator door. My God. It's the least he could do. Instead he just kinda kicks at her lifeless body and looks at her. I mean, that video wasn't enough to cause the Ravens and the NFL to react with harsher punishment than what they did? They needed to see the actual punch for justification? Epic failures all over the place! Come on!

I'm glad they are getting it right now, though. Better late than never, huh? ...I guess.
