Are you kidding me. She married him. If she’s okay with it why the heck should I care.

Yeah, and totally shocking. But this man should be IN JAIL for years. And that is how many football games he would miss. I do not agree with the NFL taking the place if cops and juries. We have.a justice system that is supposed to take care if these things. If the NFL becomes judge and jury, then the precedent is set for any organization taking in the same role. That’s not the way it is supposed to work. The NFL should be about football, and what happens off the field should be up to a judge and jury. And by the way...where was the judge and jury, or the arresting officer? Have they been replaced by the NFL because they are no longer effective? Or just too busy watching football games on TV?

The NFL didn’t play “judge and jury” as relates to the justice system. The NFL just kicked him out of the NFL, which is their perogative.

Now if she wants to press charges (which she should) then it would be up to a judge and possibly a jury. She should do it.

It’s misdemeanor assault. In most states you wouldn’t do ANY jail time. And the MOST you can do for a misdemeanor is a year.

You may want to read all of the information available before commenting.

The legal part of this has already played out.

It will be difficult in a court of law for her to win anything. She took the first swing. Fundamentally we care that she’s a woman and he’s a man and all that. But the law doesn’t distinguish. She swung first and he swung second. She has no case.

Yeah. That’s how business works. You generally only care about your employees’ out of office behavior when it impacts the bottom line.

Depends on what the behavior issue is. A moral business will not want an employee who does things like what Rice did.

Let me quote you:
Businesses don’t make money by firing their best employees.

If they start paying attention to what you do away from work they run the risk of having to break that rule. So smart businesses avoid knowing what you do away from work unless it impacts work. You can Ray Rice your wife all day long, it’s only a problem for the place you work if it lands on youtube with their name attached or the jail times makes you miss deadlines.

Earlier today, ESPN was still trying to cast doubt on the video, saying “we cannot guarantee this video has not been altered”...still pimping for the NFL and Rice

ESPN has become a political group, not a sports-news group.

Ray Rice now an unemployed ex NFL player. His abused wife will now bail on their marriage. That leaves Rice broke and nobody to take it out on.

The point of the statement is to remind people the NFL is a business, a fairly immoral one. They don’t care about his behavior until it started hurting them.

Just as they don’t care about the players from the 70s, 80s and 90s who helped to build the NFL and who are suffering now because their bodies are destroyed.

And I’m pointing out to you that the VAST MAJORITY businesses are just as amoral and have absolutely no reason to give a tinkers damn about your behavior away from work until it impacts them. For EXACTLY the reason you said, firing top employees is bad for business. Until something happens that makes them not a top employee.

There’s a very good chance at least one of you coworkers is a spouse abuser, you also probably work with a few alcoholics and drug addicts, some philanderers and all kinds of other bad behavior. And guys in management probably no about at least half of it just from water-cooler talk, and they will studiously ignore it ALL unless and until it hits the bottom line.

“ESPN has become a political group, not a sports-news group.”

It was bound to happen. ESPN and NFL Films are magnets for latent homo jock sniffers willing to work for nothing.

In the Old Testament, when God was giving directions to Moses on the High Priest’s attire, he advised the priest to wear trousers underneath his vestment, which evidently came down to his knees. Because, “if you bend over and I see your privates, I will kill you where you stand.” (KJV) Also, the Lord always told the people to clean up and put on their best when they came before Him. It is a matter of respect. Most people would put on their best if invited to the White House.
