I’m sure that plenty of people heard about the whole ray rice situation. Ray Rice was caught on an elevator security camera hitting his wife Janay Rice on September 8 , 2014. After the video went viral millions of NFL fans had a lot to say about it.

The NFL did numerous of interviews saying they don’t want to offend any women by the situation and they continuously apologized. Many people raised their eyebrows on the whole issue on if the NFL will ban Ray Rice for good or let him play again.

Considering im a woman I feel this would be disrespectful to me and all the other women around the world if ray rice was let into the NFL.Ray rice being let in would basically say that the NFL allows domestic violence and that it is all good. Even though he got suspended for 2 games I personally think he should get a bigger consequence like out of the NFL.

As of right now there is a lot of talk where ray rice might be picked up by another team and this is not making the female fan base happy. If it was a regular man who isn’t in front of the camera and he hit his wife he would’ve been in jail, just because ray rice is always in front of cameras and his famous doesn’t mean he shouldn’t get the same consequence as everybody else.

According to Deadspin.com Janay Rice wife of Ray Rice made a statement on how she feels about the Elevator situation and if her husband should be let back in

“I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it’s reality is a nightmare in itself…” To read Janay Rice full statement go to http://deadspin. com/janay-rice-releases-statement-this-is-our-life-1632366280

I made a survey with 3 yes / no questions.

  1. Should Ray Rice be banned from the NFL?
  2. Should Ray Rice go to jail for his actions?
  3. Do you think Ray Rice was right for what he did?

 

Below is a graph of the survey answers based off 50 people.

Judging off the charts it looks like most of the people chose yes to all 3 questions . I feel most of the people I surveyed are on the same page as me on how I feel on the Ray Rice problem. Domestic violence is not allowed , even if you’re a professional football player is still wrong!
