Never said the Ravens would have to re-instate Ray Rice. I only said that Ray Rice will eventually get his money for the entire current season. If not for the NFL adding to the original punishment, Ray Rice would still be playing.
Just look at what is happening with the Penn State v. NCAA case. The NCAA is going to lose; and lose BIG.
The arbitrator in the Ray Rice case said the NFL office officials, and Goodell in particular, lied during the arbitration hearing.
Rice won’t get any money. He was cut from the team before the original suspension was served. The judge “vacated” the second suspension, but that’s got nothing to do with his team cutting him. Unless he can show that some other team would have picked him up the best he’s got is an end to his suspension, and a big ol PR mess for any team dumb enough to pick up an aging RB that was clearly on the down side of his career.
