Ray Rice Wins Appeal: Reinstated back into NFL
    #20900575 -

$$$$$ I bet his wife is ecstatic!! $$$$$$

Ray Rice Wins Appeal, Reinstated By NFL

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was suspended indefinitely after a video surfaced earlier this year that showed him hitting his then-fiancee, has won an appeal and will be reinstated by the NFL.

The National Football League reported the news on its website. The NFL Players Association union said the suspension had been "vacated immediately," according to The Associated Press.

According to AP: "The appeal was heard earlier this month by former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. She was deciding whether the NFL overstepped its authority in modifying Rice's two-game suspension, making it indefinite after video of the Baltimore Ravens running back punching his fiancee — now his wife — became public."

ESPN says that Rice's appeal ended on Nov. 6 and that his wife, Janay Palmer, also testified before Jones, who acted as an independent arbitrator.

Rice's reinstatement means that he's eligible to sign with any National Football League team, the NFL's website said.

As The Two Way's Bill Chappell reported at the time of his suspension, Rice was not only suspended from the league by Commissioner Roger Goodell but also terminated by the Ravens.

Initially, however, Rice, 27, was suspended for only two games for the incident of domestic violence that was caught on security cameras at an Atlantic City casino in February. The suspension was only made indefinite on Sept. 8 after the video became public.

USA Today reports that the union argued that Rice had been subjected to double jeopardy because the decision to make the suspension indefinite was based on the same evidence despite the release of the video. The NFL had argued that the video was new evidence.

Well he better not smoke any weed or he will really get kicked out because smoking weed is way worse than knocking out your fiance ...

How the fuck does the US government have a say in how a private company terminates it's employee?  His behavior warranted his expulsion, the NFL decided so, shouldn't that be the end of it?

I don't have an opinion on the guy one way or the other.
I just want to know why he decided to beat up his girlfriend.
I mean there was a point where he wasn't hitting her and then a point where he was and something caused him to more from one point to the other.  I'm just wondering what that thing was.  Not a justification or an excuse; a pure "why"

I think what Adrian Peterson did to his kids was way worse than what Ray Rice did. Many people disagree and argue "Adrian Peterson was just disciplining his kids blah blah" but I think it was heavy child abuse that warrants jail time. That's just me, though.

Great (ta). Being great, it flows out;
Flowing out means far-reaching;
Being far-reaching, it is said to return.

It's just a shot away..

What gets me is that the NFL is being hypocritical about it running these "NOMORE.ORG" advertisements that claim the NFL no longer tolerates wife beaters.

This in no way plays into discrimination.  This was straight up domestic abuse and assault.  I would even push it to say kidnapping, after dragging her all the way back to the room unconscious.

Good.

If I was charged with domestic violence, I wouldn't be fired from my job. It should be no different for anyone else. People shouldn't fixate on this and make it a newsworthy issue just because he is famous. It would not be a newsworthy issue if you or I were charged.

Last time I checked, sports were a private business, they shouldn't be influenced by the nation playing PC police. If anyone truly cared about this, they'd be actively combating domestic violence daily. Ruining one mans life and reputation for it is not going to change anything.

I just think there are more productive things to do than snoop into someone's personal affairs because they are famous.

You knock a woman out and you're ruining your own reputation, don't even try to act like this guy is a victim here.  His job has a highly public face and it's his job to live up to that.  The NFL decided that he should go, not the government.  So yeah, it's a private business and they made their call.

I was saying "the nation" as in the public opinion of the general population. If people minded their own business, this guy would be treated in the same way that I would be (depending on the company's policy) and end up not being fired.

Why do you believe that you are entitled to set the moral criteria of someone else just because they are a "public face?"

Considering Josh Gordon, who repeatedly failed drug tests, had his last suspension shortened I would say this inane argument doesn't even make sense.

If it were up to the NFL Ray Rice would still be out of a job. Don't really see how that's hypocritical.

Yes, I believe we as a nation should complain when things like this happen.  This man is a part of the NFL, and sports are worshiped in this country like a religion.  Many young men and boys hold these guys up as an example and mimic their behavior.  If one of these men decides that knocking out women because of an argument is an okay way to operate, they should face repercussions so people understand that it is wrong.

When you make your living off of the public by performing for them and they decide that your behavior is not befitting someone in that position, it's time to go.

don't get me wrong, I'm all for people minding their own business.  I preach it often about many issues, but not this.  If people were to just "mind their own business" about domestic abuse against women, women would be in a lot worse of a spot than they are now, which still isn't that great. 

They're not property or a junk yard dog.  Women are human beings and shouldn't have to live in fear of shit like this, or of people defending actions like this.

Zero tolerance drug abuse policy, but hey, it's alright if you smack your lady around a bit. :cookiemonster:

Pretty sure they just got into an argument while they were both pretty wasted coming home from a club.

I don't know if one is worse than the other. I think both consist of equally atrocious behavior which deserve jail time. Although Peterson's actions weren't blatantly caught on camera and the NFL didn't lie about not knowing about the evidence.

In conclusion. They both fucked up.

Only after the 147th domestic abuse case in the NFL in the past 10 years are they required to spend a bit of their billions of dollars to put out some lame PSA about domestic abuse. Way to go Godell! :elmo:

White NFL fans don't riot. We just punch each other in parking lots lol.

---------------------------------------------------

Alright, so as a human being I wholeheartedly believe both Rice and Peterson shouldn't be allowed back on the field now or ever. As well as having to disciplined by the American judicial system at least in some way besides anger management classes.

As a die hard NFL fan. I'm pretty excited to see Rice and eventually Peterson back on the field. Both are top 5 if not top 3 RB's in the league.

I know. How fucking hypocritical of me! I agree. :shrug:

She was basically attacking him as well, he gave her one punch and she fell down and hit her head, I believe both had been drinking.

She married him several months after this incident and has been his biggest supporter, justice has been served with his reinstatement.
