Surprising absolutely no one, except of course the Dudes In Charge at the NFL, it seems, contrary to very badly timed claims by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell that nope, no one had seen the incriminating video of sportsball star Ray Rice knocking out his then-fiancée in an elevator, it is in fact
I've always been profoundly bored by football (hating it would imply some level of engagement with it), and so the whole thing can go up in a puff of smoke as far as I'm concerned. Besides, the Super Bowl always interferes with dress rehearsals for February shows.
Obviously there was a gang-banger on that elevator playing the Knock-out Game. Somehow said gang-banger was out of camera range and poor Mr. Rice was left to take the blame.
It's football, people. A blood sport in which "men" pretend to "go to college" until they achieve an advanced proficiency with violence and reach an age at which it is socially acceptable for them to maul other human beings. Is it really so surprising that such a "man" cannot distinguish between a running back and a fiancée?
No, what you should do is shut the fuck up. Because every time you open your mouth, you demonstrate that you have ZERO grasp of how employment law works.
I work in Human Resources. If an employee pled guilty to a crime of violence, you bet your ass in my line of work they would be fired in a heartbeat.
In case you have forgotten, and clearly you have, Ray Rice has already had his day in court. He admitted to the facts, and he took a deal. He doesn't have a protected right to keep his job. No one has a protected right to their job if they engage in criminal behavior. It's not discrimination to fire someone for committing a felony. In fact, in some lines of work it's mandatory to terminate for an offense such as this.
If you continue to demonstrate your ignorance, I will continue to swat you down.
In all fairness, the NFL was relying on Tony Romo to deliver that tape to the front office, so it's no surprise that it ended up never getting to its intended target
Well that and the vomitoriums
Ha! If you did, it would be a comment, which Wonket does not allow. QEFD.
Goddam replacement commisioners.

If this was baseball, I could understand not going to the tape, because the instant replay rule is fairly new.
4th and long, Roger. Might want to consider punting, since so far all your Hail Marys have gotten knocked down?
Sometimes a lady faints, or has a spell of the vapors, or takes too many tequila shots.
Other times, you just gotta punch a bitch.
Good, that was the point. Gotta laugh so we don't cry, right?
No, they'll put it on Mrs. Rice - she didn't have the sense to wait until there were no cameras around to get cold-cocked.
This one is gonna need a booth review...
I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Time for Goodell to pee in a cup- we need to find out what he's been smoking
