Hitting her may not have been the right thing, but she gets no sympathy from me.

I have enough sense not to pick a fight with someone who obviously can kick my butt to kingdom come.

After a couple of times of looking at this coupled with an explanation of events on ESPN this certainly looks like she wasn't the aggressor. It appears as she just wasn't willing to let Ray spit on her.

Anyway the story doesn't end here. It appears as Roger Goodell maybe in Jeopardy of losing his job. He claimed he hadn't seen the video until Monday, a law official claims and AOP reports that he sent the video to NFL Execs months ago and he has a voicemail confirming they received nd the video was reviewed by at least one person.

The NFL has been trying to become a 24/7 year round source of entertainment . Well they have arrived, unfortunately they also now have the microscope on them 24/7 year round as well.

I've lost track of the story, but the last I heard, the family would just like to move on and so should the rest of the world.

This whole thing has now exploded into more than just a Ray Rice DV issue. Now, it is more of an NFL coverup case and Goodell is gonna have to pull a Hail Mary out of his ass to escape.

You have to be kidding me.

Zero respect for Michael Vick.

Learned aggression and entitlement are a bad combination. It takes a lot of discipline and respect for the morals of society to overcome these factors. Many of these players are too young or isolated to be a successful human being.

The good thing is as a result of this incident combined with how poorly the NFL handled this there is a good chance that many lessons will be learned and hopefully some good will come from it as less people will be so tolerant in the future.

All men who beat women should be locked up for a long time.

Optimism that I agree with...

Sadly few of the thousands of abusers will relate and many witnesses will still avoid involvement.

With not a hint of irony from Ray Lewis when talking about the Ray Rice thing this morning...this could have been an SNL skit.

“There’s some things you can cover up, and there’s some things you can’t,” Lewis said during Sunday’s broadcast
