Mr. Rice took a plea to a felony. He admitted guilt in a court of law in exchange for a deal that I am absolutely certain neither you, nor I,nor anyone else that doesn't have 6 or 7 figures to his name would ever get.

He has disqualified <em>himself</em> from participation by his actions which, in case you haven't noticed, <b>were caught on videotape</b>. Was the NFL and the Ravens organization supposed to send him to counseling while allowing him to continue to make millions of dollars? Look the other way?

What, O wise arbiter of social justice, were they supposed to do?

Tsch, jumping to conclusions: yellow flag.

There were no cameras, so how do you know Sharkey wasn't about to buy lunch there, but got distracted by punching a woman in the face, and forgot?

I have a better idea: replace American football with soccer. Let's add up the wife-beating, the dog-fighting, the gang rape, the steroids, the brain damage, the wrecked knees and spines, the grotesque violence of the game itself, the perversion of high school sportsmanship, the phony Jeesusy praying, the cheerleader meat market, and the corruption of college athletics. Yeah, other sports do some of that stuff, but only football does it all.

Fuck the lot of them.

Doocy: So if you are about to beat up your girlfriend / fiance / spouse, do a quick check for security cameras. Because the worst thing in the world at that point is being caught. Kilmeade: Avoid surveillance altogether by taking her into the stairwell first.

Generally speaking people who are convicted or plead guilty to crimes of violence lose their jobs or their professional licenses. So the answer to your question would be yes.

it takes weeks to get the Rice video from police, yet the Ferguson chief telepathically hears requests from journalists and he spews it up like a teenager with his first beer.

<em>“The message is, take the stairs,” Kilmeade said.

“The message is, when you’re in an elevator, there’s a camera,” Steve Doocy said.</em>

Ha Ha! We got a million of 'em. And we'll be here all week, Folks. Try the veal.
