Ray Rice reinstated in NFL - Page 10

Financialgrl · ‎03-13-2010

Not much surprises or shocks me - but I was shocked that Jenay's mother appeared. Ray Rice has the best PR team around cuz my mother's been dead for 40 years and yet I know for a fact, she'd be so incensed and she'd never agree to appear. Like any other mother, anyone that hurts one of her kids would have the wrath of Betty brought down upon them.

The whole bit about the NFL scripting her apology disgusted me (but I expected it had been) and I HATED the part about how she wasn't upset that he apologized to everyone (his team for having put them in the middle of all this, etc) but not her.

ETA: I see this interview as Jenay is being used as a puppet whose strings (and words put in her mouth) are those of the NFL. Yet, many men and some women will fall for it.

Most mothers would be beyond incensed, livid, ready to kill a man who knocked out their drunken daughter. I get the feeling, Jenay's mother enjoys the perks that go along with having a millionaire SIL.

The next knock out or beating will mean a lot more to her, if she lives through it.

And I've said it above - give it another few years, the NFL will be done with Rice, he'll dump the wife and she'll be singing a whole new tune. How it wasn't the first time he hit her and she'll now be playing the poor battered abused wife and how she only wanted to stay to keep her family intact. I feel it's not a matter of if this happens but how soon!

I'm with you on this. No way was this elevator encounter the first domestic dispute these two had. She will give it her all at that point, hitting him up for the payola in child support and whatever else she can get $$.

ITA She is calling it a "mistake". I wonder if she would be as forgiving if he was a guy without $$$$$ and a big life style. She did the interview with Matt Lauer with a smug sneer on her face and basically blamed everyone but Ray. Her mother is a piece of work too! Who would be OK if this happened to their daughter?

Let's say she mouthed off to a total stranger at the casino and he got angry and knocked her out.

Would she consider THAT a mistake????

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.

You seem far too emotionally invested and overwrought about an incident in the lives of people you don't even know. They were two drunk people who argued until it became physical. She shouldn't have hit him and he certainly shouldn't have touched her. But he did, it was ugly, they sobered up and now they're dealing with the aftermath of having their marital problems fodder for total strangers to discuss and judge, i.e., "...I don't believe he doesn't have an anger problem" and "... it wont be the last time". Please. If his wife forgave him, that's her business. They claim in was an aberration ... maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But I don't think a man should lose his livelihood and be condemned for the rest of his life by the public when his own wife appears to have moved on from the incident.

You continue to minimize what she did; she didn't just "mouth off" she attacked him twice before he retaliated. You previously suggested he should have held her arms to her sides, and then what? She still could have kicked him, head butted him, or bitten him.

You won't accept that some men are small and weak while some women are large body builders. That no man should ever hit a woman is nonsense. Any person who is attacked has a right to defend himself/herself.

I gave my opinion just like everyone else on this thread - including yourself.

Not sure why you singled out my post, but you seem "overwrought".

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

The way he treated her body after he knocked her out is so disgusting, so inhumane, so removed from the fact that she was a human being. He dragged her around like a garbage bag.
