Ray Rice

Do you think he will or should be reinstated?

I think that Ray Rice will be reinstated but I don't think that he should this season.  The National Football League was quite clear in how they were going to handle incidents of physical abuse. The film from the elevator was quite clearly evidence of physical abuse. He was hit first but he is a professional and should have removed himself from that situation and most certainly should not have retaliated in a physical manner. I am considered a large man at six foot one inch, two hundred and twenty five pounds and currently at a ten percent body fat percentage. My wife hit me in the back four years ago and I chose to remove myself from the immediate situation. I had a one hundred and two pound girlfriend that clocked me in the face with her shoe-hard enough to break my nose-I removed my self from that situation. These players need to learn control.

I do my best to consider both sides of every story; however I think they should make an example of him.  A slap on the wrist would be a mistake; as far as, the message being sent to males everywhere.

I recognize that some women have a tendency to push buttons where they don't necessarily bring out the best in their man.  He's lucky he didn't kill her.  I also think she shouldn't have any say in whether or not he pays a big price for his actions.

I don't think he should be allowed back in he got kicked out you can't go back on that you well have problems in the future with this for other things with the players.

I totally disagree with him playing ever again, but there are so many people who don't agree with me and look at this as a 'mistake' and say we all need a 2nd chance. Very sad, but I guess we will have to see what happens.

Everyone deserves a second chance no matter what but if hes reinstated it should take place next year serving a certain amount of games suspended with a large fine and if he is caught doing it again full life suspension for a second offense. One mistake is not worth someones livelyhood being taken away from him its like telling everyone your not allowed to show fault and need to be perfect. Perfection is false reality anyway nobody is
