Hmmmmm....NFL star, Ray Rice was charged (and convicted) with punching out his fiance in an elevator back in February. He was caught dragging her unconscious body out of the elevator. His team ultimately suspended him for two games.
Now, TMZ has released a video from the elevator, showing the attack. (The video of him dragging her out of the elevator had previously been made public.) Lo and behold, today the Ravens cut Ray Rice from the team. They knew he knocked her unconscious, but only now that a video is released of the actual incident, are they taking more substantive action. What changed?
Seems that they acted today for PR reasons....not for any moral reasons.
Ironically (?) his fiance ended up marrying him.

I won't link the actual video. It's easily found, but I felt like I was a voyeur into someone else's personal life. I guess it's a good thing there were video cameras in the hotel where the incident happened...otherwise it surely would have been brushed under the rug.
