Ray Rice Plans to Appeal His NFL Suspension Today

Ray Rice

Disgraced Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and the NFL Players Association plan to appeal his NFL suspension Tuesday.

Rice, 27, was suspended indefinitely by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after new video footage was released showing Rice callously knocking out his now-wife, Janay Rice, in a casino elevator in mid-February.

Ray Rice

Rice, who was cut from the Ravens, was originally suspended for a measly 2 games back in July.

The Baltimore Sun reports Goodell sent the NFL Players Association a letter explaining the increase in Rice’s punishment.

“This video shows a starkly different sequence of events from what you and your representatives stated when we met on June 16, and is important new information that warrants reconsideration of the discipline imposed on you in July,” Goodell wrote.

“Based on this new information, I have concluded that the discipline imposed upon you in July was insufficient under all the circumstances and have determined instead to impose an indefinite suspension.”

Rice and the NFLPA claim Goodell reacted hastily to the growing public backlash over the video. The NFLPA is reportedly contemplating filing a grievance against Goodell and the NFL.

The NFLPA cites “double-jeopardy” because the league punished Rice twice for the same offense. But the NFL is a private for-profit organization with its own set of bylaws and rules that are not influenced or regulated by the government or the courts.

Ray Rice and his wife attended a high school football game in NY on Saturday.

Why of course he will the NFL had ALL THE INFO INCLUDING THE VIDEO inside and outside the elevator. Gave him only 2 game suspension then went back and reneged when they received back lash. I doubt any team would sign him and it would be 2015 before any reinstatement would occur but he would get the 4 milly he is owed for this season.

I cant believe the school even allowed this. even Nicki Minaj’s old high school denied her request
Unshakable

@Topic,

Maybe he should put the same zest into taking accountability for his actions if he has not already done so. In addition perhaps seek out anger management classes or therapy to better understand the importance of respect and effective communication.
WUT IZ REALLY GOING ON? :blink:

So his appeal will go like this… “Naw see yah honor…I didn’t hit her..she just ran into my fist n shyt…”

Gwone nah Rice…gwone..

They knew the severity of the issue when they saw him DRAGGING her UNCONSCIOUS body out of that elevator. They shouldn’t have needed to see the inside video to know some fukked up shyt happened inside. And can’t nobody make me believe that NO ONE saw that video before a week ago. Can’t do it.

I mean well *deep breathe* STRICTLY from a business stand point I think he should file a grievance IF what I THINK and had previously said was true. He told them what he did… they saw the tape …he accepted and is in the process of serving his punishment… they decided to suspend him for 2days… TMX released the full punch tape to THE MEDIA and PUBLIC… it caused a public out cry. R. Goddell renigged to save a face… He is suspended indefinitely as if he was not totally upfront AND punished for the same offense he originally agreed to serve 2 games for. I in no way condone what he did WHATSOEVER. I just want the NFL demons to finally be exposed for all the dirt they do off the backs of others. Might funny to me how Ben Roethlisberger goes around (allegedly) raping women whenever he gets the urge and yet he still is a franchise player and it is NEVER brought up. Ray Rice did get caught on camera tho

@Taken! That’s my exact view! They knew and came to an agreement based on that so what they are doing is straight BS. Ray was 100% wrong but how the NFL is handling this is WRONG! Stop trying to make him the poster child for all the fukked up shyt yall done did over the years.

I understand the out cry; I do but when that dude said in the press conference I struck/hit her in the face what did people think it was. I’ve been mad since the press conference; I’ve been mad since his “punishment” was made public.

He should. ONLY after the public outcry did they do something different. Heck, it would have been cool if the Ravens dropped him. But for the league itself to renege, is crazy. People say no one will pick him up. Two words: Mike Vick. They care more bout mutts than humans anyways.

Good Day

And he had to pay 500K

Are they offering him a refunds?

Did anyone see “No Good Deed”
sassyshe

Maybe this was the plan all the time. Goddell suspend him indefinitely to appease to the women’s group, then he appeals, they will cite that they had already made a decision regarding the incident and had no choice but to let him back in. People would ask for the tape transcripts of what was said in June and those mysteriouly disappeared. Said it this man was not going anywhere cause when it comes to abuse when you make an example of one you have to do with the rest and the NFL is not going to be prosecuting their money makers for thumping a chick or two cause they think half the females are gold diggers anyways who should shut up and enjoy the perks of being a football wife/fiancee/girlfriend

@Tee, when he said he struck her, i thought she hit her head in a resulting fall. That was troubling enough but i was thinking open handed bitch slap not closed fist Nintendo knockout. Also they kept talking about their drinking.

When the video showed that he struck her AND knocked her unconscious, Not the fall…I changed my mind. So He can appeal, most do. Doesn’t mean they should grant it.

Umm Mike Vick paid a restitution. He went to prison. This man.. he just got ppl talking trash to him on the innanets.

Why he can’t go away for a bit? Whats a season to a superstar?

I’m not saying what he did was right, but as a parent. He has obligations….

He was fined, then fired. Doesn’t make much sense…He never stepped on field again.

He not going to play for Ravens again, and he has to move etc…

Just my thoughts….

I could agree but the NFL has NEVER cared about no chick getting their azz beat. And yes, they know about 75% of the women with these football players are gold diggers and the other 25% are at least partial gold diggers.

Hail, just two years ago a player KILLED his girlfriend and then himself….
AND
NO
ONE
CARED.

Several things made this an “issue.”
-TMZ with all they dayum videos.
-The stupid 2 game suspension
-The cover up after the fact

If this had been business as usual (no videos or cover up) he prolly wouldn’t have been suspended AT ALL and there wouldn’t have been any story (See Greg Hardy/Ray McDonald).

any incentive for him to keep his hands to himself and from going upside her head is good enough for me. so what if its a day late and a dollar short? he deserves as much fairness as he showed his wife. if she can take an L then so can he.

Yea right. I think it’s safe to say he’s done with Baltimore. I think when what happened inside of the elevator went viral that’s when his goose was cooked. Corporate sponsors don’t want their brand associated with someone who beat the brakes off their wife. They didnt re suspend him because the tape shocked them,or it was even their first time seeing it. They re suspended him because ultimately keeping him on would negatively affected their coins.

The profession will cover up anything that may hinder their money from flowing… at best try to trivialize it like its no big deal… I bet if someone did a tell all and asked the wives of just the last 5 years, prolly 95% would say they experienced or saw someone being abused!
