Ravens RB Ray Rixe charged with assault on fiancée

I'm waiting for the Ray vs Solange video to surface.

 

I'm betting money on Solange, that bitch is crazy lol

 

Ray Rice is clearly no brain surgeon, since he is clearly dumb, and morally bereft enough to hit a woman (who posed no significant risk to him) its simply par for the course that he would not have even the microscopic common sense to realize that his felonious actions were being recorded.

 

So very true.

People act like they are invisible or somehow people aren't going to care, don't have a natural instinct a lot of times to aid other people
in need.

 

Maybe it's a result, or byproduct of the head trauma they're getting the settlement for. There must be a section of research that the loss in brain cells due to trauma leads to stupidity, go figure, multiple contusions to the head.

 

Black male athletes are prized for their physical prowess not critical thinking skills. Textbook black sociology also dictates that Rice had a father who was murdered when he was a child and never knew him. No dad and the mentors in your neighborhood are usually other young black men with no fathers.

What do you do when a bitch gets in your face? Beat her ass.

You meet some curvy hoodrat or blonde-haired Becky who sucks what little brains you have out through your dick, and the ensuing drama can derail you just as easily as a torn meniscus or multiple concussions.

 

Absolutely true. My ex husband and my current boyfriend both weigh easily 2.5x what I weigh...neither would ever lay a hand on me but even knowing that...I'd never come at them physically. A woman would have to be seriously deranged to pick a fight with someone who can physically overpower her with one hand lol. Who wants that kind of drama in their life anyways? If we're at a point of wanting to hit each other, its time to go our separate ways.

Yessir. Too many people ignoring the possible long standing effects of dealing with subpar partners.

 

speaking of imaginary examples.

 

You put it exactly how I couldn't lol

 

Does Chris Brown look lonely to you? :???:

I would say a mere 2 game suspension was cowardly and unfair.

 

Nope

 

Now they are both crying about him losing his job...they deserve each other...crazy on both sides...I'm glad the NFL fired him...her gravy train is over...

 

But why should it be if even the "victim" isn't upset about it?
If he were more high profile dude wouldn't have lost his job

 

I don't see the issue here. They are both crazy, would you guys rather they inflict their bs on innocent mild mannered people?
You can tell from the video the dynamic of their dysfunctional relationship is fight and make up. She's not some innocent lamb, she just happen to catch it extra bad that day. I felt the same way about Rhianna and Chris Brown, you could tell that dramatic shit was part of their relationship.
Ain't no victims in this situation. Hell Jay-Z was more of a victim to me

 

He'll be reinstated within a year.

Goodell can't justify keeping Ray Rice out of the league any longer since there were no criminal charges filed.

Playing in the NFL isn't a gravy train. It's not like RR bought a powerball ticket at the local 7-11 and got lucky.

The young man had the talent and desire to pursue football as his chosen profession and was paid for his ability.

People have such short attention spans, something else will happen in the NFL that will kick Rice and his wife off the front pages.

 

This.

 

hitting a man is never an option.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti is sending the following letter to Ravens personal seat license holders, suite owners and sponsors in response to the team's handling of the Ray Rice incident:

-----------------------------------------

Sept. 9, 2014

Dear Ravens Stakeholder:

You deserve an explanation.

What happened with the Ray Rice incident? How could it come to this? Why didn’t we act earlier?

As a PSL holder, suite owner, sponsor and supporter, you have a stake in us. You have invested in us – emotionally as well as financially, trusted us, and believed in us. We value that trust and owe you full disclosure.

First, let us say that we did not do all we should have done and no amount of explanation can remedy that. What we can do now is share with you everything that occurred and vow to learn from all that has happened.

Here is how the situation unfolded, and here are our thoughts behind the decisions we made.

On the morning of Feb. 15, we learned that Ray and his then fiancé, Janay, had been arrested at an Atlantic City casino, and both had been charged with “simple assault” resulting from an altercation with each other. After the couple was taken to police headquarters, and after a report was written, they were allowed to leave together.

A number of Ravens’ representatives talked with Ray during the course of that day. His explanation was that after he and Janay had consumed a great deal of alcohol, they had had an argument and that they struck each other.

We at the Ravens organization issued a statement to the media that we were aware of the incident, that we had talked with Ray, and that he deserved the due process of law.

We then began our own process to discover as much as we could about what happened. We talked with representatives of the casino, the police who arrested the couple, the prosecutor and a lawyer who represented both Ray and Janay in the case. Soon after, the video of Janay and Ray coming out of the elevator became public.

We contacted the casino management and asked if there was video of the incident from inside the elevator that we could see. The casino would not share such video. We asked the local New Jersey police and the police refused as well. We asked the prosecutor’s office and that office refused. It was our understanding at that time that Ray’s attorney had not yet seen the video. NFL officials had been informed, and we know they were also trying to retrieve and/or see the video.

Assessing the situation at of the end of February, this is what we knew: A player who had been a model citizen in the community and terrific teammate for six seasons had been charged with simple assault against his fiancé. At that time, his fiancé Janay had been similarly charged.

Ray and Janay both told us nothing like this had happened before. He was showing great remorse; they were meeting regularly with our team chaplain and were diligently attending couples counseling.

In March, the prosecutor dropped the case against Janay, but elevated the charge against Ray from simple assault to aggravated assault. At this point, we decided to defer action until completion of the court proceedings. We stopped seeking to view or obtain a copy of the video. We halted our fact-finding. That was a mistake on our part.

In May, the prosecutor recommended, and the judge agreed, that Ray should be accepted into a pre-trial intervention program that will eventually have the assault charge dismissed from his record, pending a year of good behavior.

The police had seen video from inside the elevator. The prosecutor and the judge, who had also seen such video, allowed Ray into the program that would eventually clear him of the assault charge.

On June 16, Ray and Janay met with Commissioner Roger Goodell, who then announced on July 27 that Ray Rice would be suspended for the first two games of the season. Ray subsequently met with the media and answered questions.

Yesterday morning Sept 8, all of us saw the video from inside the elevator. It is violent and horrifying. I immediately came to the office and called a meeting with Dick Cass, Ozzie Newsome, John Harbaugh and Kevin Byrne. The meeting was relatively short. The decision to let Ray Rice go was unanimous. Seeing that video changed everything. We should have seen it earlier. We should have pursued our own investigation more vigorously. We didn’t and we were wrong.

We are moving forward and believe we can help put more of a spotlight on intimate partner violence, while increasing education and awareness to this issue to all in our organization. Our recently announced partnership with the House of Ruth is a start.

We view ourselves as a family. Like families, we have used tough love in the past (fines, benching and releases) with repeat offenders. Because of his positive contributions on and off the field over the last six years, Ray had earned every benefit of the doubt from our organization. We took everything we knew and decided to support Ray Rice until we could not.

We hope that Ray will continue to work to be the best husband, father and person he can be, and he will turn this awful situation into something positive. We also have learned a great deal and will continue to strive to be an organization and team you and Baltimore will be proud of. I am sorry we let you down.

Sincerely,

Stephen J. Bisciotti

Owner, Baltimore Ravens

Sad. Why do you call her a 'victim'? Is still a crime, even if the victim don't want to file a complaint, the system will still pursue it.

This is very common for domestic violence. That the VICTIM does not want to for charges.
This is a part of the profile. Victims of domestic violence are generally mentally abused and isolated by their spouse and thus brainwashed in a way that is similar to Stockholm syndrome and cult members. The physical violence is just the iceberg of what is going on in a relationship with domestic violence present.

The NFL is actually working on domestic violence, its very common in their ranks. They are trying to find ways to teach players how to deal with coming off the high of their games and a whole lot of other activities to aid their players. This is a problem the NFL acknowledges and because of that, and the current efforts of NFL to change the culture, a bigger profile dude would likely lose his job also, depending on the response from the media etc, like what happened in this case. I do agree it was bungeled
. But, the rules are 2 game suspension for the first offence and 6 for the second. At least now. Of course they are concerned about the financial aspects I understand that

 

R rice wouldn't be the 1st to fool everyone, but looking at the video and it's clear she is giving him the business about something, women that are in abusive relationships don't behave like that, ( I have a sister that went thru it) at worst they both are sick , till proving wrong truly feel janay had pulled that shit on him on the wrong day he flipped
