Ravens had no choice but to terminate Ray Rice's contract. Will be a long time, if ever, before another team signs him.

Its pathetic that Rice didn't lose this job for actually knocking his wife out, but because video of it went public.

Good for the Ravens? Those idiots and the NFL knew exactly what happened in that elevator, they only chose to act now because of the publicity hit of the public being able to see. It was all fine and dandy when the punch was hidden from public consumption, even though everyone saw the result - but not now.

Like the previous video wasn't bad enough?

From the way everything has gone down, maybe he thought the NFL and Ravens didn't have the full footage and he lied about what actually happened.

I highly doubt this is the 1st time management saw the video of Rice punching out his fiancé.

At least they did the right thing.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I think he'll hook up somewhere else. Deserved or not.

I seriously doubt this. The information was out there; they chose not to go through the effort/expense of digging it up.

A serial drunk driver, vehicular manslaughterer who was guaranteed a roster spot despite having not played in almost two years and who isn't even that good.

Exactly, it's hypocritical for anyone who supports Josh Brent but are cheering the demise of Ray Rice.

No its not. The difference is intent. Brent made a stupid decision in a diminished capacity but clearly didn't intended to hurt anyone. Ray Rice consciously punched a defenseless woman in the face and knocked her unsconcious.

The league was given information that appears inaccurate - the entire Rice defense was that his wife was attacking him. His freaking wife told the league this. Clearly she was yelling at him but he's obviously in no physical danger.
