TMZ plans to release proof that NFL 'turned blind eye' to Rice video (Good-bye Goodell)
Yahoo Sports ^ | 9/8/2014 | By Eric Edholm

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. We could see wholesale changes at the NFL league offices, the Baltimore Ravens organization, and the New Jersey courts.

Now that's funny. Yeah, she was faking it despite him knocking her face completely into the side of the elevator.

Sure looked faked to me. /sarc/

Goodell will be gone, the NFLPA will defend Rice and the new commissioner will claim he had to reinstate Rice.

Is it just me or that woman slapping Rice around before he punched her. If that is true, then it looks like a case of self defense to me.


Had a man hit Rice and then Rice turned around and knocked him out, it would still be considered assault.

There were ways he could have reacted that would NOT have knocked her out.

Damn right she got married. Of course she wanted him to be working.

She sees the dollar signs and rightfully so. Had he lost his job then she would be just another beaten lady living paycheck to paycheck.

I state a fact. Why should I feel bad for a woman who marries a guy that knocked her unconscious a month before? Her complete lack of self respect is not my problem. She wants the money. Even worse, some male member of her family walked her down the aisle and handed her off to a goon that punched her in the face and nearly killed her. Why? Probably because they think the gravy train will trickle down to them too. Again, why should I care about this?

He spit on her before she backhanded her.

With Aaron Hernandez, OJ, Stanley Wilson, Rae Carruth, Dave Meggett, Lawrence Phillips, Darryl Henley, Keith Wright, Ryan Leaf already in jail and Rice one slip up away, looks like a good start for The Longest Yard 3.

Maybe Condi Rice will be Commish.

I hope so. The NFL needs a tight end named Rice.

Murder is now equal to a knockout? Heads are spinning everywhere.

Whoa, it a bit too much you think? He could of grabbed her. Preventing the hit, instead he chose to clock her.

My brother got a DUI and got to keep his job by self reporting. Do you think anyone that commits any crime should automatically lose their livelyhood? How about anything amoral? This thing is way out of hand.

So you can’t find any reports about her suffering a concussion either?

Goodell will be fine. He’s the son of a liberal politician. Besides, the politically correct crowd really doesn’t care about beating up women.

I didn’t say every crime, just ones that show extreme aggression because it becomes a liability for the franchise and the NFL.

Yep, she was just fine. I bet she went and ran a marathon a couple hours later. I use to box and that was a knockout punch if I ever seen one.
Even Rice admitted he knocked her out.

He sure did. The whole incident is disgusting. Why is he spitting on a woman he’s engaged to? That he should have never backhanded her goes without saying, but what is up with spitting?
