The Ray Rice story isn't close to being over.
Although the Baltimore Ravens released Rice and the NFL suspended him indefinitely following the release of the bombshell video of Rice striking his wife in an Atlantic City hotel elevator, TMZ claims it has more to the story, via Philly.com.
TMZ's Harvey Levin appeared on Fox5 Philly and said that he plans to release information that the NFL knew about and saw the Rice video (which the league has denied) but that it ignored it.

Keith Olbermann--unloved by everyone here on Free Republic for lots of obvious reasons!--had it right that a LOT of heads will roll if we find out the police, the courts, the Baltimore Ravens organization, and even the NFL league offices knew of the tape, probably saw it, and never did any serious actions against Ray Rice over this incident.I don't care for Olbermann, but he's right about this.
He spat at her:

Shame on you.
She is an enabler. She is as sick as he is!
Of course not. Pretty darn close, though.
C) the NFL thought she was struck be a meteor.

Probably just the opposite otherwise you wouldn’t of said it.
An arbitrator will get him his job back.He was never charged (so he was never convicted)
Maybe not this year, but it will happen.
If he completes his diversion program, he’ll get his job back. Double jeopardy also applies to employment law.
The ONLY operative difference between the two is “consent”. And we have no idea if she “consented” or not. What we do know is that after it happened, she did not press charges, and she married him. Which appears to imply consent.
People allow themselves to get beat up for money. What does it say of people that they actually WATCH, and PAY to WATCH, people beating each other up? Sounds barbaric to me, but it is very popular, and apparently so long as the participants appear to be consenting, we are all fine with it.
Well, she appears to be a consenting adult. Who are we to judge her for deciding 12 million dollars is worth getting knocked out for, or maybe it is the love she thinks she is getting.
Of course, I would not be surprised to find out that at least one of the participants on this forum attacking him has actually hit someone in anger before. I have not. But I’ve seen a lot of decent people who have lost control of themselves, and gotten so angry that they have hit people.
Uh-uh. Nope. One cannot consent to serious bodily injury. Most states have laws limiting the degree of harm to which one can claim "consent" as a defense.
And domestic violence is usually a special form of assault under the law. Many states have no-drop laws so victims of domestic violence cannot be manipulated into dropping charges and cool-off laws that require an arrest of one party when police respond to a DV call.
