There are plenty of victims, probably posting here as I type, however Mr. Rice had no prior record of abuse before becoming a member of the Ravens. I am actually hearing rumors that he may sue the NFL.

Having no prior record of abuse does not mean that there was no prior abuse.

As many victims of spousal abuse know all too well.

Well I thought we were talking about boycotting the NFL? I do believe they should have banned him from the outset of the incident.

I am a victim of spousal abuse as well & that was many years ago- I've gone on with my life and learned to not let it run my life- I love football and Chik Fil-A. There's spousal abuse all over the world, whether it be by words, physical or just plain horrible treatment- we can't let it ruin things we enjoy or like.. my ex worked for Federal Express but I still use them- I am not being cold hearted and I care, I care a lot- my abuse was both physical and mental- it's taken me years to let go... and for that I am the better person!

OP is certainly entitled to her feelings about this, don't you think?

Not all experiences are the same.

""Boycotting""?

I thought it was one abused woman's statement that she won't watch anymore.

I wouldn't tell her that she should just get over it and watch football.

I'm not sure what difference it makes that there was no prior record of abuse. There is a first time for everything.

I find it hard to believe this never happened before, seeing what happened in that elevator.

Who is telling anyone what to do? Not watching is similar to a boycott in my mind, that's all.

Unfortunately in the Court of Law, accusations & rumors can't convict anyone. Right or wrong, he might have a case.
