No one is picking him up. Goodell is trying to save face so he is now suspended indefinitely by the NFL.

Ha!
CFL?
The only thing that bothers me about this socitey is that now everyone who does something bad is a bad guy. Make one racist joke, you're a racist. Make one bad decision, you're a bad person.
It's silly and if everyone were judged like that, no one in society should be out of prison.
That's true. But a lot of other things bother me about this society.
That's what happens when the media becomes controlled by minority and special interest groups. It does get pretty funny when there's conflict between two different groups though. Like right now, black players have to pretend they're outraged at Ray Rice for knocking his out, but deep down they don't care and find that behavior acceptable in the black community. They're only acting different on camera to appease the feminists. It's quite amazing just what's happening in America right now.
im confused, I thought we already knew he knocked the dumb bish out, she shouldnt have came at him like that imo
The reason why you have people who have to pretend to be outraged at so many things is that progressives, like all parties, are coalitions of people with different interests trying to form a cohesive platform. There are racist women and sexist black men, but they have to put that aside to get votes. The same is true of libertarians like Romney who have to act like they care about all the Tea Party issues to win primaries. It's probably most clear when looking at how Al Sharpton has changed his political stances over the past few years.
Was she beating on him?

If your name is Ray then try avoiding going to the Ravens. ty luck.
The Ravens put out this article a couple of months ago:

An excerpt:
Such a faux pas. A lot of Ravens fans want the PR director fired.Bisciotti Weighs In
When we found out about Ray's punishment during yesterday morning's practice, I told Steve that I wanted to write about Ray Rice and how much respect I have for him. I wasn't sure it was my place or the team's to talk more about Ray right now. I thought the subject was so sensitive to the franchise that I should check with the owner, a man with great insights.
"That's your call," Bisciotti told me. "I don't think Ray needs it, and I don't think you'll change the minds of those who don't want to have anything to do with Ray. ... How sad we all are that he tarnished his image. No one outside, I've learned, can understand how we look at these guys as our sons and close friends as opposed to just employees.
"I saw that clearly when we lost the AFC championship at New England (at the end of the 2011 season)," the owner continued. "I had friends tell me, 'You must hate Lee Evans or Billy Cundiff. They cost you a trip to the Super Bowl.' It was the opposite – we felt for Lee and Billy. I wished that they'd get another chance. I felt the need to protect them like I would one of my sons. It's not like that in my other businesses.
"Don't we all have days or moments or periods in our life we regret? Ray showed great character for the six years I've known him. He has shown remorse after a bad incident. It was out of character. I don't think now is the time to abandon him. You say we are a Ravens' family. I've come to believe that."
And you're ok with that? The phony outrage and all? Doesn't it look even worse since all these special interest groups are basically joining together just to go against white Christian men?
For example, do you think black community leaders would have allowed the phony outrage of the michael brown incident had the cop been a female?
It's so disingenuous and paints a really bad picture of what's happening in America right now. Oh well, everyone might as well get used to having to pretend to being outraged for everything from now on, cause that's where we're at.
I think you misunderstand the level of acceptability of DV in the black community. It's not taken lightly at all. It's just that there are fewer men who have a stake in protecting women (like black fathers will kill a man for beating their daughter as readily as any other father, but there just aren't all that many of them). It's not a black platform that abuse is okay at all. They have no problem standing with women in this case.
But, no, I don't have a huge problem with coalitionalism. There's not a democratic governmental system that doesn't have it in some form (and it's a really big deal for parliamentary systems). That fact that you seem to be framing the issue as special interests versus a geneous group suggests you don't really grasp the political landscape, no offense. "White Christian men" is its own coalition of people who don't agree with each other on a lot of issues either but band together to try to push their own interests through. The formation of the Confederacy was very much a coalition between planters and yeomanry, the latter of whom was pretty much tricked into supporting the former through propaganda. That union is the reason why the Republican Party is splitting in two now.
