Nice Job Ray Rice. Good thing you didn't take a supplement to beef up... to you know...perform?
Beat your girlfriend. That's the way to go.
This league is a joke.

great point man, i agree 100%....what a joke

Sad isn't it. I was thinking the same thing. The league's priorities are screwed.

The example I saw on twitter that also seems ludicrous is Terrelle Pryor starting his NFL career with a 5 game suspension for his selling autographs in college in violation of NCAA rules.

I heard her sandwiches were terrible, but this seems a little extreme.

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a moment.
He married this girl. Unless there's a prenuptial agreement in place then what is his now is also hers. That includes his NFL paycheck. That paycheck will be dinged $500,000 (approximate) due to his suspension.
Could the NFL be thinking essentially that whatever punishment they mete out to Ray Rice invariably is also punishment meted out to the woman he hit, and maybe that's why they went a little easy on him? -

Ray Rice did something illegal. Thats the courts job to punish.
Dion Jordan DIRECTLY cheated to get an edge in the NFL. The nfl suspended him for it.
Why compare the two?fins4o8, Pauly, Pandarilla and 3 others like this. -
I think the better comparison is Terrelle Pryor walking into the NFL suspended 5 games for NCAA violations he committed in college, and also guys getting suspended for possession of marijuana.Fin-Omenal and DPlus47 like this. -
First of all, I agree that this is a joke and Rice deserves a much longer suspension. It's backwards logic.
Secondly, I first read this thread as "Dion Jordan beat his girlfriend" and pooped my pants.DPlus47, eltos_lightfoot and ckparrothead like this. -

I really do think it's an interesting moral dilemma as far as trying to punish Ray Rice goes in that financially punishing him essentially punishes her as well since she's married to him.
And I do NOT accept the whole "she deserves it for marrying him" angle.
It really makes you wonder if it's even the NFL's role to supplement the criminal justice system's handling of domestic violence issues between spouses.
If they weren't married, heck I say throw the book at him. -

Do you know how difficult it can be for someone with an arrest record to find a job, especially a well paying one? I can guarantee you if a CEO of a major corporation with a similar seven figure income was caught doing what Rice did, he wouldn't receive a mere two week slap on the wrist; he'd most likely be out of a job and probably never working in upper management again.Larry Little and MrClean like this. -

Can someone please find dirt on this limited mouth moving ginger!? We need our NFL back.

Apparently it was supposed to be 4 game suspension but Rice had a sit down with Goodell last week. It was effectively an appeal so the final suspension delivered can't be appealed.
Not surprising as Roethlisberger had an 8 game suspension reduced to 6 due to "good behavior". -

Oh, he went to classes to learn that men aren't supposed to punch out a woman. He apparently did not know this before. Everything will be alright now.
