Ray Rice life is going on a turmoil right after the Baltimore Ravens announced that they have cut ties with the RB and the NFL had suspended the athlete indefinitely.
Rice was arrested following February 15 where he struck his ex fiancée Janay Palmer in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The six year veteran has been accepted into a diversion program. When the program is completed, there is a possibility that Rice's charges will be obliterated.
TMZ released a grainy video of Rice and Janay Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed Sept. 2.
Last Monday afternoon, The Baltimore release a one liner statement saying "The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon."
Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the video, and they made the decision to let Rice go.
Harbaugh said "It's something we saw for the first time today, all of us. It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different."
When Harbaugh was asked whether he felt like Rice mislead him, he answered "I don't think of it that way. Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand by. I believe that still, and I'll always believe those things, and (we'll) always stand in support of them as a couple, and that's not going to change."
NFL also took action after seeing the video Commissioner Roger Goodell says that they are now imposing an indefinite suspension of for Rice. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."
Goodell added "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."
