Goodell also said he left the meeting believing that Janay Rice had become unconscious because she had fallen during the scuffle.

Her name is Rosemary Woods.

The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution prevents compelling an accused to testify.

It's difficult to prosecute without the victim's cooperation, UNLESS you have videotape evidence! Victim's cooperation is needed to contradict the accused's story, because there are typically only two witnesses - the accused and the victim. Objective evidence - such as a videotape of the incident - eliminates need…

That's like saying citizens should have renounced their US citizenship if they wanted Nixon impeached. No, force the President to resign, not quit the thing you love. People love the sport and league,so get rid of the bad apples that are hurting it.

Once the NFL owners believe their statutory anti-trust exemption is at risk, they will throw Goodell to the lions. The NFL's anti-trust exemption is their biggest asset, and Congress, having granted the exemption, has the ability to take it away. And if Congress believes the NFL is using its anti-trust free…

The government (Congress) very likely will get involved. Congress has granted the NFL a privilege that allows it to earn billions: an anti-trust exemption. This is a gift from Congress. If Congress believes the NFL is abusing its antitrust status to choose profits over basic decency, the problem must be corrected, or…

Don't forget Ray Rice's other attorney, Andrew Alperstein, who publicly lied shortly after the arrest, saying that Rice was involved in a “very minor physical altercation.”

The Prosecutor's original statement following Rice and Palmer's arrest, if anyone is interested:

"To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific."

Agree - the NFL statement is very carefully worded. If you parse it, it says the police did not provide the video the NFL. It does NOT say no NFL employee ever viewed the video. In addition, the statement does not address the possibility that the NFL hired third party investigators (but not the "NFL", technically) to…
