<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I don't give a damn about the NFL, but knowing they
have ignored this in their midst for a very long time grits my teeth. I want law
enforcement to arrest and prosecute these out of control testosterone driven
maniacs, but I want the NFL to step up and take some responsibility for covering
it up in the name of profits.....just an idealist, I suppose.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Just out of curiosity, am I the only one who doesn't give a damn
what the NFL decides to do about domestic abuse? I'm more interested in
what law enforcement does about it.<BR></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="">What more evidence do you need, Mr. Dredge? The
second video (publicly released over a week ago) clearly shows Ray Rice
knocking his wife to the floor of the elevator and dragging her limp,
unconscious body out of the elevator.</SPAN></DIV>

leveled against Ray Rice amounts to double jeopardy."</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV></SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN style="">How is this considered double jeopardy? If I
committed a crime (say . . . </SPAN><SPAN style="">assault) and I was fired
from my job, would it be wrong to also be criminally charged for that
assault?</SPAN></DIV>

domestic about long ago since it's not exactly a new thing."</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style=""><BR></SPAN></DIV></SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN>As more and more cases of domestic violence in the NFL is
uncovered (instances involving 5 players identified in the past week) it is
becoming painfully clear that this has been going on for quite some time.
</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>Why hasn't something been done about it earlier, you ask?
The NFL is, in itself, a billion dollar industry. The NFL is
also tax-exempt. Cute, huh? Simple logic suggests that NFL
Commissioner Roger Goodell (who is under pressure to resign by several NFL
teams that are under pressure by their sponsors) would hate to see these
instances of domestic violence go public, as they may result in a major drop
in ticket and product sales.</SPAN></DIV>
