Week 1 Recap

Ray Rice

So unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard about the Ray Rice scandal. Rice, formerly with the Baltimore Ravens, was caught on security camera punching his
now wife in the face in an elevator and knocking her out. Cold. Although this incident happened back in February, new video has recently surfaced showing the actual punch. Previously, all that was released was the aftermath--an annoyed looking Rice trying half-heartedly to pick his unconscious girlfriend up and drag her out of the elevator.

There was initially an uproar over his punishment a few months ago, as he received only a two-game suspension. This punishment seemed quite lax as players continue to be suspended for 5, 6, 7 games or longer for things like marijuana possession and Driving Under the Influence. Obviously these things are all bad. However, most people think that punching your girlfriend/wife/any female in general is much, much worse. He has now been released from the Ravens.
