Ray Rice’s attorney was out there implying all sorts of provocation on the part of his fiance as “justification” or mitigation for what he did. The Ravens have largely been supportive of Rice up to this point. Now that the video is out, which I haven’t seen, but is described as him essentially knocking her out and not even bending over to check on her as she laid on the floor of the elevator.
The NFL was either incompetent or complicit with respect to the elevator video and so were the Ravens. If they trusted Ray Rice on this subject they were fools. They both have to scramble now and do damage control before they get in too much PR trouble.
