A survivor is most unsafe when he or she leaves the relationship.

Victims of domestic violence have a hard time leaving due to emotional manipulation, family "norms" and complete dependence on their partners. Speaking from personal experience. Sometimes these women feel safer if they stay, especially if they are threatened to be killed if they walk away. List is endless and…

the conditioning of women to accept stuff like this is insane. also abuse usually starts later in a relationship, as well. i also imagine that before he hit her the first time, she felt extremely fortunate to have fallen in love with someone who can give her an excellent life, financially speaking. i wouldn't be…

Anyone with more than a half of a brain cell knew I was making a joke, and not quoting Stephen A. Smith exactly. Sorry you missed that.

I'm hoping that she went through with a marriage as a means for her to absolutely wipe him out when she files divorce papers after Ray collects that last game check.

Serious question - why haven't the Ravens deleted this tweet? It's just disgraceful. The only thing I can think of is that the team is keeping with some PR industry standard, i.e., deleting the tweet would be akin to a newspaper violating journalistic standards of standing behind everything they print.

This is the most disgusting thing of at all - that Janay Rice has been made to feel like she was responsible for being abused. Is this is not a classic symptom of a battered spouse? And to think that the Ravens perpetuated this makes me sick.

It makes me sad that she still went and married the guy.

You can't be serious with this. Even your "it's not OK" caveat is worthless in the rest of that pile of BS. If Ray Rice can't laugh off his now-wife hitting him and/or restrain her enough to avoid being hit, then he has a whole lot of other issues. I've been with a fighty woman in my life. You walk the fuck away and…

Watch it again, shithead. In BOTH incidents when she "goes after" him (once before and once on the elevator), it is in response to him SPITTING in her face. That is, in fact, the first act of physical altercation, and a grotesque violation of someone's personal space. I actually think she showed incredible restraint.

I just screamed in front of my laptop at this tweet.

The part that really turned my stomach is how he acted AFTER she hit the floor. He didn't rush down to help her or see if she was ok. My fiance and I sometimes act like 8 year-olds and wrastle. One time he hit me in the face on accident and he acted as if he just killed my puppy. He felt guilty for hours and it didn't…

She regrets having a face, and the way that she put it right in front of Ray's flying fist?

I would regret my role in being knocked the fuck out by a RB too...that role sucks.

Apparently a domestic dispute falls within the umbrella of the good old fashioned family values" image the NFL wishes to extol.

"Janay Rice says she deeply regrets injuring Ray Rice's knuckles with her face"

or MISSING a drug test, not failing, MISSING.

I really hope Roger Goodell never saw this video because if he did and thought, "Two games? Yeah, two games." Jesus Christ.

Lets not forget everyone, this is only half as bad as smoking weed.

Well, so much for "But we didn't see what really happened in that elevator."....
