Ray Rice Cut by Ravens and Suspended by NFL
See, now I’m curious about this issue, and the NFL and Ben Rothless-whatever, and what behavior, exactly, is tolerated from these athletes. But I feel like I’m a) out of my element, and b) just going to end up hating humanity more than I already do.
Because, while I’m glad they did this, albeit months too late and, I think, only because they absolutely had no choice, aren’t we still letting other men play sports who have hit, and raped, women?
Or is it just that this one was dumb enough to do it in front of a camera? (Genuine question, one that’s probably already been asked a million times with no answers.)

It seems to be a combination of “this one was dumb enough to do it in front of a camera”, outcry over the fact that drugs and cruelty to animals have both warranted more severe punishments, and most importantly, that the NFL would really, really like the ladies to keep handing over their money so if this is what it takes to get us to shut up and keep paying them, they’ll do it.
