This whole situation hasn't been right since Mr. Goodell extended a gift wrapped 2 game suspension; had it been 6-8 games...I truly believe this video would've never surfaced. I also believe that Roger & the Ravens saw this video months ago or at least had knowledge about it. The only thing that smoothed out the whole situation was that Janay Rice was by her man's side the whole time, which in hindsight was a mistake by Goodell. I have a hard time believing that TMZ had more access to this video than the NFL. So who at that casino handed over that video because I highly doubt that the police handed it over to them? Why haven't we heard anything about them? Reason I ask is because the hotel worker who gave TMZ the video of Jay-Z & Solange was fired & is facing criminal charges for breach of hotel security policies. And please don't take this as me defending Rice...because honestly I think what has people more outraged than the punch...is his lack of compassion or remorse as his wife then fiance laid on that floor! But I smell a stench coming from the office Goodell...his a$$ isn't innocent in this situation. Suspend Rice 2 games then...confessed how you fumbled the ball on the situation...bring in new domestic violence sanctions...and who does he get to use it on 1st....wala...you guessed it...the same subject that allowed him to put in place....hmmmm! Goodell is a crafty MF'er I tell ya or at least that's the way it appears. Mr. Goodell claims that no one in the NFL saw this video or was ever even offered access to it. Well now it comes out from police that a call was made to the league office & that the video was offered. Now it starts to get a lil' sticky & Mr. Goodell is under more fire than Major League Baseball comminssioner Bud Selig during the kick up of the 'Steroid Era.' Mr. Goodell is now caught in a web that may seem too much to escape. Goodell went from 1 extreme to another. Went from a 2 game ban to an indefinite suspension while the Ravens fired Rice...Rice is the sacrificial lamb. Seems that now Why is that Rice is the only one that has been convicted & guys like Ray McDonald (SF 49er def. tackle) & Greg Hardy (Carolina Panther def. end) still get to play while facing charges of domestic abuse? Is it because the NFL hasn't seen video yet? Goodell is now on the run & the rabbit has the gun! Public outrage is starting to bubble over & Goodell is now cancelling appearances as he & the rest of the NFL office tries to get it's story together! I think this should call for him to be removed from his post or at least suspended, but I don't think that this will happen. Mr. Goodell will find a fall guy or girl to pin this on...get rid of that person & continue on w/business as usual. In my opinion Goodell is just as guilty as Rice! He shitted on 40-50% of the NFL fan base which is comprised of the female population & smiles in their face like he has their best interest at heart. He should be morally convicted & punished just as Michael Vick & Plaxico Burress. This story has only begun to take legs...let's watch it play out. In the words of the late great MC GURU...."WHO'S GONNA TAKE THE WEIGHT?"
BE VOCAL!!!!!
