Ray Rice

Seeing this on Rotoworld - I say its about time for someone to take a stand on domestic violence:

Yahoo! Sports' Dan Wetzel has been "texting with team officials around the NFL," and the belief around the league is that the Ravens will release Ray Rice.

We don't typically use Wetzel as a source, but his words are worth noting. Multiple team officials believe the Ravens simply "have to" release Rice after the video of him knocking out his then-fiancee in a hotel elevator in February came to light Monday. If the Ravens were to keep Rice rostered, pay him, and play him, they'd face severe backlash. Current and ex-NFL players have already taken to Twitter calling for Rice's head. There's a chance Rice may get cut and never play again.

It's a very damning video. As many have said on Twitter... usually isn't the first time, either. And then to have his wife apologize for "her role in the affair" is terrible.

It's ridiculous they wait until a video surfaces to take action. I mean really, he's already been shown on tape dragging her out of the elevator..how did they think she got unconscious...you need corroborating evidence to know he cold cocked her? Come on...this should have been done right away.....Ravens a classless team and so is Goatell...

The repercussions (for both the Ravens & the NFL) will be far-reaching...

Her apologizing is classic battered wife syndrome
