Baltimore Raven's Ray Rice should be a Wake Up call to the NFL's Backward Thinking

Okay, someone help me with this.

In February 2014, there were reports about Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and his girlfriend Janay Palmer arrest in Atlantic City for assault. There was also a video of Ray dragging, I'll say that again... dragging her out of the elevator (where the fight took place).

Both Ray and Janay had to apologize and even had a press conference about it. Later this tweet was released from the Ravens.


The NFL suspended Ray Rice for only two games.

 Now, let's fast forward to this week. TMZ released the entire video of that assault.

Now, this could trigger some issues for you, so please be aware. 

Update! Ray Rice has been cut from the team! 


Back to those reports I mentioned earlier, the NFL claimed they never saw the full video. If that's the case, how did the reporters see it? The NFL also claimed they asked for the video, but never got it... Hmm, I think they are covering up something.

Why would NFL make Janay sit in a press conference and apologize? Especially, if they didn't have all the info? If anything, Janay shouldn't have been there at all. This was Ray's mess to clean. Putting out there makes it seems that she is blame for her own abuse. Really, NFL, that was a real low!

This is the message the NFL sent to us:
Beat your girlfriend/wife, you can still play football after a two game suspension.

What if he killed her, would that be a full year suspension?

The NFL should be ashamed about all of this. Their actions are basically saying that domestic violence is a minor issue. No biggie, as long as you can play, your good with us.

This message is completely horrible and places women, and men in the crosshairs. Someone in the NFL needs to be fired for this and Ray Rice needs to be released.

Oh and by the way, NFL. This is a distraction and an embarrassment, and Michael Sam isn't.

Charlie Why?


This man is always in the midst of mess.

Actor Charlie Sheen was arrested Christmas morning in an alleged domestic violence incident in Aspen, Colorado, authorities said.

Sheen, whose real name is Carlos Irwin Estevez, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief and was being held with no bond, according to a news release from the Aspen Police Department. Police said they were called to 320 West Hallam Street in Aspen at 8:34 a.m. because of “a domestic violence situation,” according to the release. The alleged victim was not identified.

An ambulance arrived at the scene, but the alleged victim did not need to be transported to the hospital, authorities said. Sheen, 44, of Encino, is being held at the Pitkin County Jail.

Sheen was also arrested in an alleged domestic violence incident in 1996 when a 24-year-old woman told authorities that he pushed her to the floor during an argument at his Agoura home.

Charlie get some help or something. Once of these days, one of these girls is going to throw a pot of hot grits on you!
