Ray's Two Game Compension: A Case Study

Though this NFL conduct is in the light, it is unnecessary because the U.S. criminal justice system has the ability to end the professional sports careers of society’s worst criminals. Everyone asked themselves how could such a successful, talented person throw their opportunity away like this? Crimes from the past always catch up and come to light in the justice system. The NFL from now on is trying to prevent incidents like this from happening from making their off field standards stronger, and making consequences stronger that come with

With the growing trend of domestic violence in the NFL as arrests and felonies become more frequent. Astonishingly, Christian Jones of UWIRE revealed the relative extent of their

Regarding the Dewan Smith-Williams case they’re goal to me is to protect the brand and not to protect the husband from himself and his high risk behavior to his wife and family because they didn’t want her to go to the police and keep it silent. I think Mrs. Williams made the right call to come forth and let it be known that spouses and/or partners are being treated unfair and something needs to be done. In my opinion, maybe if fans, anti-violence groups and women’s rights organizations get together and organize a plan that could force the owners to enact stronger and lasting reforms to improve the NFL actions and response to domestic abuse. They should make some amendments to the personal conduct policy. This topic relates to the discussion on human behavior because we want to know what causes the domestic abuse from the spouse especially if the abuser is in the NFL, a super star, and fame is growing and so forth. Find out what area of treatment and theory practice could be used to help the

Professional sports have been in the news for domestic violence for a really long time. Some that may come to your mind could be Ray Rice, Warren Moon, Greg Hardy, and Jose Reyes. Yes, three of these four players are in the National Football League (NFL), but that does not mean that only football players are the ones who have been doing this. The most recent one is Jose Reyes who plays in Major League Baseball (MLB). That is really ones opinion, but some don’t have anything but I slap on the wrist. Commissioners around these leagues usually suspend the player for a couple games until all of the details and videos come out. Ray Rice was suspended two games until they saw evidence then he was suspended for the whole year. Some wanted him banned

If you asked people what the most overblown, ridiculous controversy the NFL has been involved in, most people would agree it’s Deflategate. While it took over two years to settle the case, the losing party, being Tom Brady and the Patriots, seem to have come out on top in the long run seeing how the NFL has dealt with discipline in a very sporadic way since. So my question is, “was the NFL justified in making the disciplinary decision that they made, and has that decision affected controversies after Deflategate?”

During halftime of the game the referees tested the balls and they were underinflated. The NFL announced that Tom brady would be suspended for four games in the 2016 season. Tom brady did not think it was fair for the NFL to accuse him without evidence, so Brady took the NFL to court. Brady did smash his phone before the NFL could investigate and use it for evidence a good reason some people would accuse Brady of being involved. After the season of 2015-16 was over the NFL announced that Tom Brady's four game suspension was back into full force. I do not think Brady will try to appeal this time, because he beat the court twice and what is the point when they come back and suspended him anyways. Everyone has their own opinion so what is yours did Brady really

Many fans also believed that the six - game suspension was much too harsh, since there are only sixteen games in an NFL season, and the witnesses had not backed up the woman’s claims. However, investigators confirmed that the images of the woman’s injuries were consistent with her story, and also looked into another incident involving Elliott: this March during a St. Patrick’s Day parade, he pulled a woman’s top down, prompting the NFL to send Elliott a letter, reprimanding him and saying he showed a lack of respect for women. Clearly, Elliott has a history of improper and inappropriate behavior. The NFL really wanted to have all the facts on this case due to criticism of the handling of previous domestic violence cases. For example, in 2015 former Giants kicker Josh Brown was arrested for a misdemeanor domestic violence charge and was only suspended for one game. However, it was later discovered that Brown had sorrowfully admitted in journals and letters to friends and family how he had abused his wife, who had previously refused to speak with NFL officials. Due to this lack of initial evidence, the NFL had been heavily criticized for giving a quick one - game

Greg Hardy was arrested for an assault charge back in 2014. The victim was Nicole Holder. Many people have different opinions on the situation and on Greg Hardy as a person. Nicole was assaulted in Hardy’s house after they went out for drinks at the bar on the night of

On February 19th, 2014, a video of Ray Rice, the running back of the Baltimore Ravens, was released in which he was seen dragging the body of his limp fiancee out of a casino elevator. After being arrested and spending a year in a pretrial intervention program, Ray Rice was

    Millions of kids watch NFL games. They also follow them outside of playing football. NFL players should remember that children hold these players to a higher standard. For instance, “Janay Rice sat next to her husband during the press conference, though simple assault charges against her were eventually dropped. Footage from the night showed Rice dragging his wife's unconscious body from an elevator” (Craggs). Ray Rice is a popular player in the NFL, with millions of fans. Hearing the news, I found it to be extremely disappointing. Ray Rice had too much to drink that night, and in the elevator he punched his wife, Janay, in the face multiple times and knocked her out. The NFL fined Ray Rice millions of dollars, he lost his job and endorsements. Other than losing money, he lost his fan base, including kids who looked up to him as an amazing running back.

After reading this post several times, the author made numerous points on why there should be way more research on how concussions and domestic violence in the NFL can be linked together. There has not been too much research of how the concussions and the domestic violence cases in the NFL can be connected to each other. But throughout the years, the NFL has a history of dodging and ignoring these domestic violence cases with their players. From the league doing this, it throws shade on the NFL and makes them look bad as whole. One other thing that NFL has been ignoring many years is the concussion situation and how it takes a huge toll on the players who suffer from the concussions. Also throughout the post, the author gives examples of cases

Constantly, players from the NFL have been causing problems off of the football field. For example, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice and Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson been causing very “domestic violence”. “Their behavior, and that of a handful of other NFL stars, has been outrageous.” The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. When players are on the field, they act aggressively so this can reflect their behavior once they are finished with the game. “The NFL can urge its several thousand players to behave morally. However, it cannot watch them 24 hours a day without seriously violating their privacy and civil liberties.” People believe that they deserve punishments that fit their crimes. Overall, the National Football players should be punished for what they have

Ray Rice agreed to a press conference and was ask many questions about the situation that should not been asked in my opinion. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was accused of child abuse to his 4 year old son which cause swelling of legs, back, buttocks and genitals. Adrian Peterson time was reduced to no jail time and four thousand dollar fine and 80 hours of community services Peterson said, that he was truly sorry and just wanted to discipline his son. This act led to hungry reporters asking him personal question about his relationship with his divorced wife and many other things that should not have been

The incident with Ray Rice and Janay Palmer was the most talk about news in sports history. Ray Rice was charged with aggravated assault against his then fiancé for punching her in the face in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Rice was saw punching his now wife, Janay Rice, in the face, spitting on her then dragging her limp body out of an elevator, which was all seen on tape where the charges were later dismissed. Rice married Palmer six weeks after the incident on March 28, 2014. For the incident, Rice was suspended for the first two games

Soccer stands out among other sports organizations for its inaction on domestic violence committed by one of its players. On April 22, 2015 WNBA players Brittney Griner and Glory Johnson, who were engaged at the time, were arrested after fighting at their house. They each received a record seven-game suspension without pay as punishment from the WNBA. In another domestic violence incident, Ray Rice, who was a celebrated player for the Baltimore Ravens, was handed a two-game suspension by the NFL after reports that he had punched his then fiancé in the face. Many considered that punishment to be ridiculously mild. However, when video of the punch appeared by TMZ after the NFL had strengthened its domestic violence policy, it led the Ravens to release Rice and the NFL to suspend him indefinitely. The new NFL policy imposes a six-game unpaid ban for first-time offenders and up to a lifetime ban for second-time offenders of domestic violence. In NASCAR, driver Kurt Busch was suspended indefinitely on February 20, 2015 after a judge ruled that Busch committed domestic abuse against his former girlfriend Patricia Driscoll. In a statement afterwards, NASCAR Vice President Steve O'Donnell said, "NASCAR has made it very clear to our entire membership and the broader industry that any actions of abuse will not be tolerated in the
