    Why is Ray Rice not in Jail for assault?

    As far as i am concerned it was a cover up to protect a privaledged athlete and when they got caught they had to act.

    Shame on you Baltimore Ravens, NFL, Roger Goodell and law enforcement.

    I do not buy the fact they did not see the video before today, for Gods sake it was in a casino, TMZ had the video and you tell me the prosecutors, Baltimore Ravens and NFL did not see it and could not have access to it. I call BS!

    I cannot imagine being a father of young girls and them seeing this and having to explain it. There is no explanation and excuse.

    The owners should now do the right thing and fire Roger Goodell as the commissioner.

    Under no circumstance should a man ever put his hands on a woman!

    I have to wonder why she even married him after that. It was reported that she was his fiancé at the time of the assault. Didn't she require medical attention? Nothing about this seems right.

    That was my first thought as well, I wonder if there's a pre-nup.
    My best bet is she saw dollar signs.

    They also retracted a tweets from a 100 days ago, so I will have to agree with your statement Goodell should be fired.

    I think it's also important to consider the amount of victims who struggle to leave their abusive partners - a well documented, complicated psychological phenomenon - regardless of the financial influence of marital institution.

    In related news, it will be interesting to see what happens to that utter douchebag, War Machine, too. I saw this guy on Joe Rogan's podcast a while ago, & within 5 - 10 minutes it's evident that he's missing something fundamental in the neocortical/subcortical serotonin/vasopressin hypothalamus, prefrontal cortex department.

    I don't have that mindset, I can't relate.

    So by implication you can relate to a victim tolerating violence for financial gain?

    If not, you should also note that the process of considering does not require relating.

    No, it's not.

    Whether you can relate to a victim of physical violence is irrelevant to the psychological processes occurring within abusive relationships.

    Yes, it is semantics and it's a political discussion, which is NOT allowed here.

    I have no idea what you two are doing but all you have to do is put your wife's, nieces, daughters, mothers, sisters face on that poor girl and you will get all the perspective you want.

    Let's keep this real real real simple, if that was my mother, niece, daughter, sister in that video, I WOULD BE DOING TIME FOR MURDER AND MR. RICE'S FAMILY WOULD BE MAKING THE DECISION OF WHETHER TO BURY OR CREMATE!

    If Roger Goodell did not see this video (which is hard to believe considering all the former FBI agents working for NFL security and investigation). Then he gave a punishment without having all the details or evidence, a dereliction of duty. ------and he should be fired!

    If he had the videos saw it then he should be fired for a cover up!

    An athlete gets caught with a joint in Seattle or Colorado, where it is legal and they get 4 games or a season long suspension BUT if that same athlete beats the shit out of a lady to the point of leaving her unconscious in a casino elevator and act like nothing happened. THEN MR GOODELL IS NOT FIT TO BE THE LEADER OF YOUNG MEN AND THE NFL.

    Ray Rice should be in jail !

    Agreed and they way he dragged her out of the elevator was inhumane as well.

    Slash psychological? Here by confirming all topics & comments involving psychology or psychological states, as not allowed?

    Ray, can you point out the no psychology allowed rule?
