Now the Governing Body of the NFL needs to terminate Goodell's employment. Immediately. The fact that TMZ got this before the NFL did, just proves further how incompetent and unfit he is for the position. Like we needed further evidence or something.

The silence from former players is absolutely DEAFENING.

Can't support a league like this.

The Ravens had no choice.

This is a public relations nightmare. Heads have to roll.

You would think the experience with OJ would make the league hip on domestic violence issues.

You can only sweep it under the rug for so long.

Sure, how could the league hawk all those pink jersey's and hats for the entire month of October with a clear conscious, while only giving Rice 2 games for that despicable act.

agree.

saw that rice has been suspended indefinitely. i'd imagine he'll reach out to whoever put together roethlisburgers comments and mea culpas, and write something similar for rice.
a guy is back with dallas after killing a teammate in a dui wreck.
vick came back.
incognito is back. i figure if rice does enough grovelling, he'd eventually be allowed back in.

i don't suppose that stephen a. smith will repeat any of his comments from a few weeks back...

Nah he's playing the typical hypocrite by sharing his thoughts on the Hawks owner.

And then, exhibiting his signature cowardice, Goodell "bans him indefinitely". But not until after he got sacked by the team.

It appears that Goodell's strategy in imposing a two game ban was to manage the problem instead of trying to eliminate it.

This is such a coward move to try to save face from the inadequacy of the original penalty it is laughable. Did anyone really have to see what Rice did inside the elevator to know that what he did was despicable? Suddenly, Goodell is outraged?

The fact that she was clearly unconscious when he dragged her out of the elevator like a piece of meat in previously publicly released footage sure made it pretty clear that it must have taken a pretty serious punch, like the one seen in the newly released footage, for her to have ended up in that state.

I think that move was contrived by top NFL brass. Goodell had to have called the Ravens owner and forced a release. Too much "egg on his face" after the wimpy 2 game suspension.
