Ray Rice's contract terminated by Ravens

In response to video leaking of Ray Rice striking his wife unconscious, the Baltimore Ravens have terminated the contract of the seven-year running back.

The Baltimore Ravens have released running back Ray Rice, the team announced on Monday afternoon. The release comes following a video of him striking his then-fiancee Janay Palmer and knocking her unconscious leaked Monday through TMZ.

Ray Rice had been serving a two-game suspension handed down earlier this year by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Goodell has subsequently acknowledged his mistake in the face of widespread public criticism over the length of the suspension and the manner in which he investigated the matter. Goodell reportedly allowed Rice to be in the room when Palmer met with Goodell at the NFL offices.

Goodell knew this was coming and tried to cover up ahead of time. Goodell is just as big a scumbag as Rice.

the Ravens represent their area the best! They are from Baltimore for god sakes - land of the murders, thugs, drunks, and drug addicts!

I think this is the beginning of the end for Goodell. And Ray Rice should never be allowed to play in the NFL again.

So how long do you think it will take before the divorce papers hit the fan? That was a marriage so that she could not testify against him.

If Brown is elected Gov., Rice will get a sweet state job - count on it -- that is already being passed around by the Dems in Baltimore and PG County.

Maybe we should have a congressional inquest into CDS use in the NFL. I hear they are into that sort of thing. What else would make a tiny man that angry?

the ravens have always had a thug mentality. why anyone would let their kids buy their merchandise is beyond me. However there are nfl players who have committed far worse crimes and they were not suspended for anything close to this!
