Yep! Its their team they can have on it who they want...
Hi TwelveOfTwenty,
If you read my initial thread followed by the dialog carefully in context you’ll clearly see what I am referring to.
Yes. It’s a business, and as long as there was no public furor, a two-game suspension for a key member of their team was fine by the organization, until it was swept under the rug. Once Rice became a massive liability due to public outcry, they decided to accept losing more games as opposed to the negative PR.
It’s just business.
Ray Lewis was implicated in ****ing MURDER, for crying out loud, but because there was never any direct evidence made public, he got to finish a career and retire as a “beloved hero”.
However, the statement that I replied to, "Furthermore, no man is justified in striking a woman unless his life is in immediate danger.", clearly expands the context to involve self defense where the man's life may not be in danger.
The quote you cited was in response to a comment by another Freeper.
And how does that change the meaning from how I interpreted it?
Yes.
Release? Why isn’t he in jail or out on bail?
Your interpretation, or more accurately, your false interpretation makes all the difference in the world. You failed to read the conversation in context.
My fellow freeper and I were discussing the fact that there is NO justifiable reason for a man to strike a woman unless his life is in clear and present danger. If - by performing some defensive maneuver involving physical contact - he is able to remove the immediate threat, his actions are justifiable. Otherwise, there is no legitimate reason for his actions. We have a Constitutional right to protect our person when our very life is in danger.
OK, I’ll buy that.
