So even though it's "old news" now I can't help but put my 2 cents worth in on Ray Rice and the RIDICULOUS "punishment" he received for knocking out his fiancee, now wife, in an elevator...here is the video...

So he drags his unconscious fiancee out of an elevator and makes a phone call probably for someone to come help drag her away and admits to knocking her out. The NFL in it's infinite wisdom suspends him only 2 games! What's worse is that the police didn't charge him AT ALL !!!

Ok...so if you're a pro athlete and you smoke a joint you get minimum 4 game suspension. But apparently if you beat up a woman and get caught and admit it you only get 2 games??? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell justified it by saying noone else punished him at all.  What a crock!

Domestic violence, violence in general, is out of control and should not be taken lightly.  In the case of a pro athlete, they are role models, whether they like it or not. Kids are running around wearing their jerseys and pretending to BE them. To only slap him on the wrist sends ABSOLUTELY the wrong message and is not a deterrent for future incidents. He should have been suspended for at least half the season and fined a BUNCH of money. He should have been made an example of like we did with Mike Vic (dog fighting), Plaxico Burress (shooting HIMSELF in the leg). Hell Pete Rose has been banned from baseball for LIFE for gambling! 

Are you kidding me? I will be interested to see coverage from the first Baltimore Ravens home game this season.  If there are not people protesting outside the stadium I will be totally shocked.

Rant over.
