    Don't be too strong bruh. You'd probably kill her.

    It's because in real life, people usually talk respectfully. Or course you would miss that angle.

    I noticed that you responded to every post but mine about your hypocrisy point.

    Again, I ask you: what is the inherent value of consistency? Yeah, the legal system ****ed up. Does it mean we can't also fault the NFL and the Ravens for their role? Your arguments are poor at best.

    Well of course they do, so long as the conversation calls for it. The same goes here. Of course, when ridiculous comments start flying around, they get ridiculed, in person as well as online. I think that trying to compare a dog fighting ring to a man knocking out a woman half his size without legitimate provocation is disgusting....then again I value people a lot more than I value animals, so that's just me.

    This all seems sketchy to me. How did TMZ get their hands on this video if the NFL couldn't? I do agree with the suspension, but Ray Rice did admit what he did prior to the release. Why wasn't he given the full suspension then?

    Yeah, his reaction after the video is much much harsher yet he goes after those who did the same. What a tool.

    Seeing this makes me sad...she obviously has had to relive the same moments that happened 7 months ago...but now the consequences of those actions have had significant financial impacts on her, Rice and their families. This is why the NFL f'd up...they shouldve done a complete and thorough job of investigating what the heck happened, gathered the evidence and just made a strong and decisive ruling before. If the NFL immediately suspended him for one year and forced him to complete 300 hours of community service related to domestic violence...there is a real good chance that Rice could have still remained a member of the NFL for atleast the 2015 NFL season...

    Now since the video has come out, and the NFL with its pathetic attempts at punishments of "2" games...has been forced to make a much harsher penalty as a buffer to avoid a PR hit(too late now buddy). And any claims that the NFL could not access the same material that TMZ obtained is hogwash...

    You're entitled to your opinion. However, the law highly disagrees with your assessment of my opinion.

    Was it your husband? If not, I don't see how it is domestic abuse.

    Once again, you show that you are incapable of understanding the whole point of this. Goodell being removed as commissioner has nothing to do with domestic abuse or drug use...it's about lying and not doing his job properly.

    Seriously, I thought you'd have some brain capacity. It's amazing how many times Ive made this point and then you go right back to some stupid response that has nothing to do with the issue at hand regarding Goodell.

    That's fair, however it doesn't really matter to me the law's opinion, if they value an animal over a human, they're wrong in my opinion.

    Rice's actions were deplorable, and he deserves to sit this season, as well as attend counseling (or perhaps even jail). However, if Goodell hadn't acted like such a buffoon, none of this would be happening right now. He needs to be fired, plain and simple.

    Nope..... any man that thinks having his wife, mother or child getting knocked out isn't as bad as killing dogs isn't worthy of being a father, son or husband.

    BTW - You are ridiculous and I am not concerned about "fighting words" with you.

    If you want, I am in Chicago until 6 pm tonight at One East Wacker Drive 38th & Chicago, IL 60601.

    You also may want to look up the term "legal assault".

    If players can kill people and still have their NFL careers so should Ray Rice. So you feel it's okay for these guys to drive drunk and kill people but Ray Rice should be crucified for hitting his chick...??? That's because a lot of you drive under the influence as well so you don't find it as egregious as what Ray Rice did. You want the NFL to take a stand against domestic violence but you don't want them to take a stand against driving under the influence when that kills so many people on a yearly basis. So yea, hypocrites.

    Your feeble attempts at even bringing THAT up and further more comparing them to this situation were ludicrous to begin with. :eek:

    You always like to throw insults instead of just debating like an adult. If you get upset over post to have to resort to that _ it shows how weak minded and weak hearted you are. Tuck your skirt in chump your panties are showing.

    It's not possible to debate with someone that lacks comprehension. How many times have your brought up the legal system in regards to my comments about Goodell needing to step down? It has nothing to do with the legal system, domestic abuse, drug use, etc... and 100% to do with how Goodell handled the situation. As a leader and the boss, he has failed miserably and needs to step aside.

    It's hard to debate like an adult when dealing with a child. I'll talk to you like a 5th grader next time and things will go more smoothly. I promise.

    Good god so many logical fallacies.

    I think the NFL should take a stand against DUIs. Nowhere in my posts do I say otherwise. I DO think that knocking a woman out is arguably worse, depending on the impact of the crime (for example, Josh Brent deserves a harsh punishment too).

    Again, I asked you a very simple question: what is the inherent good in consistency? Or to put it in simpler terms for you to understand: why does it matter if its hypocritical if it achieves a better outcome?
