New information is out in the Ray Rice elevator attack case. Information that puts the NFL’s actions in question once again. And a lot of people are also questioning the man at the very top of the league. From his original response, to his current response after the video appeared, people are wondering if Roger Goodell is fit to lead.
The people at the heart of the video are also speaking out, but not on camera. Ray Rice spoke to ESPN saying, “I have to be strong for my wife,” and, “We have a lot of people praying for us and we’ll continue to support each other.”
Janay Rice also spoke out for the first time through Instagram, saying, “I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I’m mourning the death of my closest friend. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his (explicative) off for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don’t you all get?”
Well, Janay, one thing a lot of people don’t get is how the Commissioner of the NFL could have missed the video. TMZ, which first posted it, refutes Goddell’s claims about the clip not being available, from either the police or the casino. But he tells CBS News that’s the way it is.
So, Roger, you’re calling the casino, and its security video, “not credible.” That’s kind of a problem for a lot of people. Plus, tonight the owner of the Ravens says the NFL simply stopped looking for video. And guess who’s responsible for that?
Which is why our Man on the Edge, Robert Wilder, hit the streets asking if Roger Goodell should remain as commissioner of the NFL.
