The Ray Rice Elevator Video

National Organization of Women:

"The NFL has lost its way. It doesn't have a Ray Rice problem; it has a violence against women problem," O'Neill said in a statement. "... The only workable solution is for Roger Goodell to resign, and for his successor to appoint an independent investigator with full authority to gather factual data about domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking within the NFL community, and to recommend real and lasting reforms."

Berman used to reference is all the time on Primetime, describing Fryar as "slicing" through an opposing defence.

 

Transcript of CBS interview:

O'Donnell: Do you wish you had seen this videotape before it was released by TMZ?

Goodell: Absolutely.

O'Donnell: Why?

Goodell: That's why we asked for it on several occasions. Because when we make a decision we want to have all the information that's available. And obviously that was the -- that when we met with Ray Rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened.

O'Donnell: But what was ambiguous about her laying unconscious on the floor being dragged out by her feet?

Goodell: There was nothing ambiguous about that. That was the result that we saw. We did not know what led up to that. We did not know the details of that. We asked for that on several occasions. It was unacceptable in and of itself what we saw on the first tape. And that's why we took action, albeit insufficient action. And we acknowledge that, we took responsibility for that -- I did personally -- and I take responsibility for that now. But what we saw yesterday was extremely clear and graphic and was absolutely necessary for us to take the action we did.

A lot of people are going to go Jim Brown for the old-school link, but I've always been partial to Deacon Jones explaining his patented head slap (now outlawed, at least on the field).

"Any time you go upside a man's head, or a woman, they have a tendency to blink they eyes or close they eyes, and that was all I needed."

 

Domestic violence expert: NFL still has plenty of work to do.

Where was Esta Soler seven months ago?

Fuck her, too.

This Web site was the only one on the World Wide Web that gave two shits about the dumb shit that John Harbaugh and the rest were spewing until TMZ disrupted the announcement of the second royal pregnancy long enough for people to take notice.

Fuck them all.

 

Dick, settle down. You've been saying it yourself for months, the video would change everything. So now it's changing everything, and you're arguing that it shouldn't have mattered.

 

It's just pack pontificating, and it's sickening to me. Now everybody and their asshole is aghast at what John Harbaugh said in February, or what Ray Rice's piece-of-shit lawyer said over the summer.

Remember what else I said back then, and the post is on the thread: The video would change things, but so would one national writer with a profile and the courage to write the piece that needed to be written, and one Web site with the courage to run it.

Now they're doing it, of course. Now, when there's safety in numbers.

How courageous.

 

Dick, honestly, where was all the outrage when women's groups, media types, and politicos, circled the wagons to protect a President and portray Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey etc. as trailer trash, and "nuts and sluts"?

 

Everybody and their asshole. Never heard that one before.
