I was shocked listening to the "Today Show" interview this morning.

She clearly said that the Ravens' team mgt. told her she needed to issue a statement and claim partial responsibility. She said they basically outlined what THEY wanted her to say and she followed it.

The whole thing is beyond disgusting.

I agree with others that this is not the first time he hit her. It was so violent that I don't believe he doesn't have an anger problem. And, it won't be the last time.

NO excuses for it. Ever.


ITA, Lion. (Guess that means I am "overwrought" as well)

ITA as well.

I was flabbergasted by her response to the question as to why, after he knocked her out, why he didn't say, "OMG, are you okay? What did I do?, Someone help please!" (or something like CONCERN.

Oh, no, he was just so confused and didn't know what to do.

Yeah, right.

Re: Ray Rice reinstated in NFL

I think I finally connected with which abuser this man was - Is he the one who beat her to a pulp and then dragged her unconscious body out of the elevator?

That was pretty brutal! Whether or not he should be reinstated by the NFL, I cannot say of course. But it's hard for me to see her and her mother support him as they have. Of course, that's not for me to say either. But it's not like he slapped her once - well, no. None of that is good. But the degree to which he abused her was so very far beyond egregious that it's hard to imagine forgiving him and letting him go on.

I just guess I'd have to say that I'd probably not be able to stay with him and if I were a football team I wouldn't want him. But then, football is only a sport to the spectators. To everybody else it's a business so I doubt if this comes into their decision-making process. If he can make them money, he will be picked up.

I think she is also an abuser in their relationship.
