What a wimp. Are you saying you can't defend yourself against a woman without punching her out. And then you would need help to wrestle her to the ground without help lol

Ray Rice is tiny.

He does not weigh 250 pounds by any stretch of the imagination. I've met him, and at 5'8" (me) I'm taller than he is. He might be a buck 75 if he's lucky.

She came at him. Had he been a chick and Janay done the same and got her behind knocked out by a girl?

There would be zero discussion.

Don't forget changing the overtime rules. That was one of the best changes in recent memory. Also creating the retired players funds.

I mean seriously, the guy has done quite a bit for the business of football. Remove the Rice thing, which is hardly a reflection on him or the NFL in reality. He's made the sport safer, while marketing the snot out of it, which benefits the players.

It's not like Penn State blatantly covering up pedophile coaches for decades.

Ray Rice #27 RB
Baltimore Ravens | Official Team Site
Height: 5-8 Weight: 206 Age: 27

Tiny?

Are you sure you actually met him? Please consider he benches 400lbs! Can you honestly make the "if this was a woman" argument and expect to be taken seriously?











175lb RB?

So, since 2008, Ray Rice has collected 28.2 million dollars from the Ravens. I'm sure he also made several other million in sponsorship deals (Nike dropped him today). Me guess is he's not broke.
Ray Rice Net Worth | Celebrity Net Worth

Apparently he's blown through quite a bit of his salary and endorsement money.

Net Worth estimates he's worth $14M... while not poor by any stretch, he better get a good money manager and make some wise investments, or he'll be another broke ex-athlete within a decade.

P.S. Madden NFL 15 has dropped his player from the game as well.

He REALLY REALLY screwed his fairytale future up

P.S. he's a 6 year player... 2014 is history, and he gave back $10M+

Trust me, Goodell is not the only qualified individual on planet earth for the position.
He should be removed promptly- certainly he has made tremendous headway however the league will certainly survive without him.
