[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 569497, member: 655"] The NFL is using a double standard in the Ray Rice incident. While domestic abuse is never acceptable, the way the NFL is handling things is just wrong. What the NFL should be doing is suspending players until their case is resolved. That would make sure these case's do not get dragged out over long periods of time by the player to ensure he can play during the season. First, the NFL knew Ray Rice punched his wife. They knew it because back in March when the prosecutors upp...ed the charges to a felony the police came out and said he punched his wife, and they said they had the video to prove it. We all knew it. It was in the papers. Rice never said he didn't punch his wife, at least in public. What he told the NFL, I don't know. [COLOR=#0000ff]EDIT: Well apparently he told the Ravens exactly what happened. So much so that the Ravens confirmed that his description of the event was spot on.[/COLOR] Second, to come back and revisit the punishment after the fact because of public opinion on a video? Sorry, this is just wrong. The NFL did nothing but make a request from the police for the video. If TMZ got it, the NFL could. Third. Goodell himself has stated that no punishment will be enforced while the legal system was in the process. Rice was in the process of completing the Pre Trial Intervention program. While not pleading guilty it basically assumes one is until the process is complete. He owned up to the fight, he was/is getting counseling so it does not happen again.

What is Goodell doing about Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald. Both are accused of abuse. Hardy has been convicted of two counts of misdemeanor assault in his case. His case is on appeal. Yet, he has not been suspended and played this past weekend and is scheduled to play this weekend. Guess it would have helped if they had a video. [/QUOTE]
