Ray Lewis on Ray Rice

[Runscott]

Yeah, I don't think most people realize what 'domestic violence' actually is: it generally consists of clocking a woman, exactly (or worse) than Ray Rice did.

The NFL is like some dated father who hates weed smoking hippies and thinks boys will boys every now and then.

The NFL is a business, pure and simple. They will do whatever they can to make money, modifying their image according to what they perceive the public to desire. If wife-beating by their players gave them an image of being tougher and cooler, and as a result people bought more Ray Rice shirts, the NFL would be working on a smear campaign against Rice's wife.

All the video did was make a bad PR situation much worse.

The League's stance that it did not see the video until today is evidence of either a colossal lie or a colossal blunder, most likely both.

There is no doubt the League has the 'reach' and the 'where-with-all' to have seen the tape almost immediately, but they may have been so arrogant to believe that they could make it disappear by ignoring it. And it's obvious they did not want to see it.

This kind of slanted justice is all-so familiar. Money talks.

Meanwhile, the owner of the Atlanta Hawks felt undue guilt and pressure and decides to sell his interest in the team because he stated facts by using stereotypes. Well, stereotypes that are true should be allowed...and doing so in no way, shape, or form makes the usewr a racist.- just someone who, in this age of extreme political correctness, has the backbone and integrity to speak the truth.

I have to agree with you, but more telling - my girlfriend, who is so far left she's somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean, also agrees with you.

To fill the house, he needed to change race relations in Atlanta. Not gonna happen anytime soon, and certainly not by the owner of a basketball team.

His observations on race relations were valid, but he expressed himself very poorly. And as noted by the press, the way he expressed himself made it seem as though he valued one race of fans over another, which is clearly not a viewpoint the NBA supports.

You nailed the reality of the NFL! They are so sick with greed that decency falls by the wayside...
