Quote:This is my beef with the whole situation, I in no way condone hitting a woman. I was raised not to, I don't and I will raise my kids not to. With that said, if you have been in a adult relationship you begin to realize some people just have toxic relationships that work for them. As outsiders we may look down on it and possibly not agree with it but if those two individuals have crafted a relationship out of that toxicity and believe they are truly meant to be together than so be. 

 

This was a domestic dispute and should be handled as such. I am bothered by this because he was given a punishment and has been through the ringer. This was beginning to become a non-topic and the world was beginning to move forward, then this video of something we already knew happened surfaced and he gets a worse punishment. [BAD WORD REMOVED]?!? That's like getting a DUI for crashing into another car, then someone shows the police a video of you crashing from a different angle and now you receive an even worse punishment for the SAME thing lol.

 

This is nothing new, we already knew he hit her and was reprimanded for it. My other beef is now you have punished both of them. This lady has still gone on to MARRY Rice. Really? If she can forgive him I think we all should move on. The media has taken this story to another level and now her husband no longer has a job and can not support his family. This thing has been over played and I feel he became the new bad guy that the media had their sights on once this story was released months ago. 

 

It's sad to see women get abused. It is also sad to bring this blemish back up for this family after it seems they have moved past it and expose it to the world to see. It is even more sad to see the family now have to pay the consequence because outside forces can not seem to let it go and force a PR storm onto the NFL. 

 

Just because a woman doesn't leave an abusive relationship does not mean the public should forgive him too.  Too many women are scared (or many other reasons) to leave a relationship that is caustic.  Just because the relationship works for her, doesn't mean the public has to accept it.

 

He can no longer have a job or support his family?  LOL.....with as much as he's made, if he can't support his family for the rest of his life, then he has bigger problems then getting fired.  There are other people in this world that have lost their jobs and have been in much tougher situations than a multi millionaire.
