5. Rice has very strong case

This arbitrary ruling by NFL is dangerous for all the players. Rice told them exactly what happened (he punched his wife). They gave him 2 game suspension. After backlash, NFL said they made a mistake, and they couldn't re sentence Rice, but going forward 1st time offense for domestic abuse is 6 games. But all of sudden, that same offense that he already was punished for, and they set future guidelines, is worth indefinite suspension?

Whatever you think of Rice, everyone deserves to earn a living. Unfortunately, the courts decided to go the lenient route. IMO when someone finishes a sentence or punishment, they should be allowed to participate fully in our society.
