Doubt if Komen would back out of the NFL partnership for this.

For this? Gosh, what would it take?

Completely agree. The best way to take a stand is to not spend a cent on anything football related - jerseys, games, etc. Spread the word. The NFL is actively trying to get more female fans and then they do this.

Ugh. And I was just starting to hate the Ravens less.


Don't bother; the Ravens and their fans are awful, and this is coming from an Orioles fan.

I agree I completely. Rice should have been punished way more.

On the other hand, she went and married him days later, so she couldn't be forced to testify against him. If women don't respect themselves, how can they demand men or an organization like the NFL to respect them?

OP here - jeff, i think this should be in off-topic or political and not in sports/fitness because it is an issue that transcends sports.

Furthermore I think people should know about this and those that don't follow sports might not hear/read about this if it is in this forum.

I was just going to post this. It's horrifying. I haven't seen the video -- but he beats her unconscious and drags her from the elevator? Weed 8 games; Big Ben got 4 games suspension for bar bathroom sex with a college girl (consent was disputed and not proven, case was dropped by local PD).

The Rice slap on the wrist is ridiculous!

Smoke weed a few times = suspended for a year

knock out a woman and drag her limp body out of an elevator by her hair = 2 game suspension.

Women, please make it known to the NFL that this is UNACCEPTABLE.
