Yes, Goodell deserves a ton of shit, but let's not overlook this disgusting, offensive organization. And the fish rots from the head.

John Harbaugh Sees Ray Rice's Suspension As A Good Lesson For Kids

7/24/14 2:24pm

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh fielded some questions about Ray Rice during his press conference at preseason camp today, and he decided to invoke "the children," for some reason.

After referring to Rice as a "heck of a guy," he explained how Rice receiving just a two-game suspension and zero jail time for knocking his wife unconscious and then dragging her out of an elevator provides a lesson for kids on the way things "should be."

1. Oh, jeemony...

It just keeps getting worse.

[malaise]

2. Sadly Janay Rice married him after that horrific violence

Still abusing dogs gets you more punishment from the NFL than violence against women. That speaks volumes.

3. Jayson Williams only got 18 months for shooting a guy to death.

but hey, its a little more than what Johannes Mehserle got for shooting Oscar Grant in the back.

Police thugs and Sports thugs are virtually immune from prosecution.

5. Several players have killed people

and barely missed half a season if that.

[malaise]

8. It's disgusting

Indeed it's criminal

4. Oh, fuck ME...

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

6. The article by their PR guy titled "I like Ray Rice" dated July 25, 2014 is still on their website.

Somebody please screen grab it because I'm sure it will vanish in a puff of electrons any minute now.

9. I have screencaps of it.

I also have a lovely one of Dr. Ben Carson today saying that the liberal media is demonizing Ray Rice and ruining his career.

So, to the NFL, the Ravens organization, coaches and their ardent fan, noted Republican dipshit and genius surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson...they truly deserve this:

A hearty fuck off!

In the case of the Ravens and the NFL, doing the right thing too late and only under great public outrage gets you only marginally more credit than not doing anything at all. In Ben Carson's case, I dunno, I expected better than domestic-violence apologia and defense of a wifebeater from even that asshole.

11. he said that today? Wow, it takes a special kind of assholery to double down on that today

[Nye Bevan]

7. Well, she really should not have allowed her face to get in the way of his fist (nt)

[niyad]

10. dear Goddess, PLEASE tell me this is actually from the Onion!

[Capt. Obvious]

13. Onion Sports Network

[fishwax]

12. so apparently the NFL interviewed her for her statement with Ray Rice in the room

According to the transcript of Keith Olberman's commentary, anyway. It's all so thoroughly and transparently disgusting.

[Capt. Obvious]

14. Shockingly that's not uncommon

Or at least used to happen often.

15. Clearly Rice, the Ravens and the NFL did their best to make the victim feel as if...

she was to blame...nice job, guys.
