EfemenaXY: 1). Seriously, I wouldn't call that beating her to a pulp. It was a soft left hook, that left her dazed, perhaps cos she was intoxicated. I think how she hit her on the side pole, in her lift kind of made it look worse. Regardless, it was a vicious one - and I'm not condoning it. About his history of domestic violence: I'll just go by what's out there. I'm sure if he had a history of domestic violence against her, or anyone else, I'm sure he would have been arrested. Or someone would've called 911 on him, prior to this one, and it would've made the news. And since there have never been anything like that attached to his name, then I'll ride with what's out there. Also, they have been together since they were both teenagers, when Ray Rice never knew he would become something in life. So, this has nothing to do with what she stands to gain from him, it;s more about a rider, who has been through everything with him. Someone who loves him unconditionally. Understands him better than anyone else. And the rock that has always been behind him. 2). Yes, there's always a first time. However, should that first mistake be the premise to judge someone? We all make mistakes and imperfection is what makes us human. And as long as we can accept responsibility for that mistake, apologise, learn from it, and make bold steps never to make the same mistake again - it should be over with. 3). My point is that: in as much as sports stars are megastars based on publicity, they don't get paid directly from us, like those we pay via our taxes. They work for billionaires, and earn wages just like everyone of us. So, their private lives should left private. The only thing they owe us is going out there on the field to perform. Everything else should be none of our business. Those who owe us are those who get paid from our taxes - and the ones ripping us off directly. Also, when they retire, how many people always remember them? - well, we only remember them when they bring entertainment to our living rooms via their exploits on the field. Why can't we just focus on that alone, and let them be in their private lives? Well, parents are at fault for making young kids look up to these folks' private lives. Yes, you can look up to how great they're on the field, with their unique skill set, but it should end there. Regardless, there's absolutely nothing beastly about the guy. He just made a mistake like everyone else. 4). That's a relationship that has lasted more than a decade, with a cute little girl involved. They both started from the bottom together. And I believe their lives are more or less intertwined right now. It'll be difficult to walk away from that because of one mistake that the media tried to exploit for ratings - to get billionaires richer, whilst destroying a normal guy. Capitalism is a biitch, I tell ya. Exploiting normal folks since Kunta Kinte was on the slave ship. 1 Like |

Seems like a classic "mind your own business" kind of story. They each made their choice(s) and should live with it, good or bad. Sometimes, focusing on our own lives is more productive+rewarding, there's always room for improvement. |

@MissyAL/missy89 Update. Ray Rice just got paid for the contractual money he's owed this season. I'm happy for the guy, and issues in a person's private life should never be used as a premise on how to honour a contractual agreement. What do you think? Ray Rice settles with Baltimore Ravens for dropping him after assault video |

SirShymex: You can try. The thing is i dont threaten i just act when your guard is down. Well planned and coordinated when you are not expecting it and before i strike i will make sure i have a very huge advantage to win . If these conditions are not present, i will just smile and postpone your punishment. |

missyAL: Bwahahahahaha. I was just messing about, big head. but are you even brave enough to shoot someone? - you can only be an accidental shooter, not too many folks are brave enough to pull the trigger. So, if you ever threaten to shoot me - I'll just cotch and continue whatever the fvck I'm doing, or pull ya shorts down and smack that ar.se like a baby. In other news: peep ya Ondo brother, Wale the rapper, saying "Amen" and "Amin" to his dad's prayers on the phone (start from the 2.34 mark).

SirShymex:For provoking her husband to anger and almost making him lose his means of livelihood? Just to be clear, she became physical first. She was never the victim in this story. Had she not grabbed his phone, he wouldn't have spat at her, apparently, he was trying to control himself by fiddling with his phone. She owes him big time for putting him through this shiit. 2 Likes |

Timbuktou: I get where you're coming from, and I agree to an extent, in context of today's reality. However, it wasn't really about how he hit her, but what happened subsequently after she hit her head on the rail. It did look bad, and I believe she was concussed. Also, it could've resulted in brain damage. Now, factor that in - and how the media blew everything out of proportion by trying to make an example out of another black guy, thus taking away his means of livelihood. Especially that's the only thing he knows how to do, and the lifestyle that comes with it. Bear in mind that the same week the Ray Rice incident happened, a white MMA fighter almost killed his gf - and stabbed her multiple times. But that never got the same attention. However, just to fit the "thug" narrative they assign to every black guy (something a lot of brainwashed black women also say these days) - they made the guy the face of domestic violence, and were about to destroy him. So, for this woman to stand by her man, despite being the 'victim', throughout the whole ordeal, you just have to give her props/credit for that. That's a real supportive woman right there. And she understood what was at stake. She could've played along with everything cos she had the leverage and his future was in her hands. Also, she could've sued him for a lot of money, and moved on with her life. Thus destroying his life and the beautiful thing they had together, with another black kid, raised in a broken home. But she never did that. Futhermore, I don't like when relationships that started when both parties were young (School, College, and Uni) - before they had anything and/or any understanding of what they want in life - are destroyed. Those are real relationships right there cos you get an opportunity to really grow, make mistakes, dream, and mature with your partner. Additionally, once you can ride through all the turbulence/problems you'll encounter along the way - and take it to adulthood, especially with a kid involved - it's always better to make it work. That was basically what she did. Neither of them will ever be able to replicate the great memories they had together, with other people. The formative period of our lives and those who were there will always linger on our minds for a lifetime. The beauty of it all. And the both of them have been together since they were teens, way before he knew he was going to become a successful professional football player. Before the millions and big contract. Before the history he made in the NFL and all the laurels he won. Nevertheless, I believe women need to stop provoking violence, and hitting men. However, if not for the consciousness we're in right now - with all these lousy and belligerent/disrespectful women thinking they're the same as men. I don't even think it's alright for a guy to hit any woman who doesn't pose any threat/harm. Women are weak/fragile and you can't even hit any part of their body, apart from the shoulders and bum. Unless you want to end up in jail. So, it's always better to just leave them alone. |

I hear you, but you need to call bullshiit when you see it. That's the only way people will learn. When we coddle them they get the entitlement mentality that is rife and is damaging inter-gender relationships today. Respect yourself if you want to be respected, how hard is that? |

Timbuktou: I get what you mean and I agree with you cos women these days always want to eat their cake and have it at the same time. However, in this case, there was damning evidence in the video, in which folks blew out of proportion. Thus making Ray Rice the villain and guilty in the court of public opinion. His career and future were at stake - and the only person who could provide succour for him, was the alleged "victim." Evidently, she needs to be lauded for the succour she gave him, so as to enable him continue with his life and career. She could've been swayed by the court of public opinion, but she never allowed that to happen. Heck, she chastised them for exploiting and profiting off their private lives. You can't be more supportive than that, especially in time of need. |

Re: Ray Rice Reinstated Back Into NFL And Janay Rice Tells Her Story (update) by Nobody: 3:38am On Jan 17, 2015 |
missyAL: And where did I blame anyone? So, basically alluding to how unstable women are, due to emotional impulses, and not logical decision making means blame, no? I don't blame folks - I just say it as it's. Emotional beings do unstable things. |
