Ray Rice was suspended for 2 games by the NFL for allegedly striking his now wife, then girlfriend/fiancé in a hotel elevator. The surveillance footage shows Rice dragging her unconscious body out of the elevator.
The NFL suspended the Ravens running back for only 2 games.
I think the NFL let Ray Rice off the hook. The NFL had to set a precedent on situations like this and they failed miserably. If you smoke pot or take a PED, you get nailed for 4 games (in CBA), but you strike a woman, you only get 2. Something is not right here. Hell, if I were the commissioner, I would have nailed him for at least 8 games and if he wanted to appeal it, you let a 3rd party reduce it.
Thoughts?
