Quote:Did anyone see the video BEFORE they got on the elevator? They are turning the corner and it looks like Rice spit on her. Then they get in the elevator, and he moves closer to her and appears to spit on her again, then move away. That's when she comes at him...


I'm not sure what some are taking about regarding her spitting on him...

 

There's a point in the elevator where she may have, but I think it was in response to something he did.

 

I think he sold it to the league that she instigated it, he open hand slapped her, and she got knocked out because she hit the rail.  That was fairly close to the actual truth, and you could kind of get that from the video.  It's just the video adds another layer to this that gives visual evidence of the brutality.  Because Goodell "knew" this is what happened, now he is getting blasted for it.  I just dont totally agree.  If someone told me a fight happened and the girl was hitting the guy and he was defending himself....I would think one way.  When I see that video, it would change my mind.
