In the article I read in ESPN, Sources:
Ray Rice Spat At Fiancé, it states the story of how Ray Rice abused his
fiancé. Janay Palmer, Rice’s fiancé, was
a victim of domestic violence. Some people are defending Rice of his actions.
Some blaming the fiancé for provoking, some blame Rice for abusing Palmer. Ray
Rice should be responsible and accept the consequences.
Good thing there was a security
video for proof that Rice punched his fiancé’s face twice, causing her to be
unconscious. Rice dragged her out of the elevator “"The first thing he
[Rice] said is, 'She's intoxicated. She drank too much. I'm just trying to get
her to the room,'" one staffer said (sources: ray rice spat at fiancé),
was trying to cover up the mess he made, thinking he can get away with his
actions. CNN’s article about the situation, Ray Rice's wife slams his
punishment for violence against her, he states that Rice was suspended for two
football games but “not guilty to aggravated assault and applied to a program
for first-time offenders that could clear him of chargers in a little as one
year.”
Some people do not just see Ray Rice
as a football player, but at someone they can look up too. Thinking he has a
good life and is a good football player. People seeing how easy it was for Rice
to get away with this situation is not okay. They should give Rice for
consequences for his actions. Palmer should speak up; take a role as a woman to
stop domestic violence against women. She can be the voice for other woman out
there that goes through this problem everyday.
