2014 Arrested NFL People

[MDS]

as i heard a few times on WIP today (fittingly on the way to the northeast, where domestic abuse is as common as the meth chuckie c sells behind the 5 points DD)...."she started it."

[Rome]

Marcus Hayes wrote about Goodell's awfulness today and you should read the comments after the story.

She hit him first... she had it coming.

Really, a woman slaps you so you have the right to nearly kill her with a vicious left hook to the temple?   People are absolutely disgusting.  I weep for my child who is going to have to grow up in this horrifyingly awful world we've created for ourselves.

Sirius NFL radio was the same...a lot of "she came at him" nonsense

[Geowhizzer]

My wife smacked my arm once... was I supposed to take her out right there?  I need protocol for these things, damn it!

[General_Failure]

The Wifebeater Sign Language Guide says she was asking to be choked out, not punched.

[Sgt PSN]

The Wife Beater guide says you hit her with a sack of oranges. Hurts enough to let her know how dumb she is, but doesn't leave those pesky bruises that get you in trouble. amiritesd?

We're it not for Monday's TMZ video, Ray Rice would be reinstated tomorrow morning and rejoining the Ravens.

[SunMo]

Ray Rice is a piece of shtein but it's kind of bullshtein that he got his 2 game punishment (fair or not) and the league can arbitrarily change it based on video of an event they already knew happened.  it was in the charge that he knocked her unconscious in the elevator.  so that fact was never in doubt and that got him 2 games.  now the video comes out and he gets another punishment for the same act.  the nflpa should be fighting that but they won't because it's not good PR for them, but that's what they are there for.

That's my problem with it (and that's too strong of a word for the amount I actually care). If people were lining up to do the right thing, that would be awesome. But everyone already knew what happened, and based the established reactions (right or wrong) based on what they knew. Now, it's become a witch hunt PR game. It's certainly not a new turn of events, but the everyone is looking to cover their own asses by going over the top with the reactions to the thing they already knew happened. It's not about "getting it right" or "doing the right thing," It's about, "Oh, shtein, I need to save my ass." So, pretty business as usual.
