He only got two games suspension. The NFL is a joke.

[Wanker]

This is what a two game suspension looks like -- Ray Rice delivering a vicious punch to his fiancee's face, knocking her out cold ... and TMZ Sports has the shocking video.

We've already shown you the aftermath outside the elevator ... Rice dragging the unconscious woman on the floor. But we've now obtained video of the punch that put her down, raising the question ... What was the NFL thinking when it wrist-slapped Rice with such feeble punishment?

The incident took place Feb. 15th at the Revel Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City -- after Ray and then-fiancee (now wife) Janay Palmer got into a heated argument on their way into the elevator.

Inside the elevator it's apparent he strikes first ... she hits back ... and then Rice delivers the knockout blow.
The punch knocks Janay off her feet -- and she smashes her head on the elevator hand rail ... knocking her out cold. Ray doesn't seem phased ... and when the door opens, he drags her out into the hotel.

An employee of the hotel -- which just shut down for good -- tells TMZ Sports he was working there at the time and says the NFL saw the elevator footage before imposing the 2-game suspension.

FYI -- Ray and Janay got married one month after the attack.

UPDATE -- The NFL says it did NOT see the newly-released elevator footage before it imposed a 2 game suspension on Rice.

This video is a cleaned up version of the raw surveillance elevator video -- the raw is jerky ... so we smoothed it out.

While money does talk I think at the core of this is that she has very low self esteem that she feels she can't do any better than to put up with a shit of a man like that.

Good bye asshole.

I'd really like to hear from his wife on this one.

His actions appear pretty egregious too me. I'm just wondering if all is how it seemed on the tape why would she stick with him let alone marry him.

The second question I have is how does TMZ come up with footage inside the elevator but the NFL investigators did not? Or did the NFL suppress what they found?

Also by jettisoning him is the league not punishing her as well? She is entitled to half of his earnings as his spouse. Last I checked 1/2 of nothing is still nothing.

I thought the same thing Maurice. The original footage I remember seeing was him dragging her body out of the elevator. The video was taken in the lobby. Based on that and him admitting he hit her they gave him 2 games! What strikes me as odd was that you don't need to see this new footage to put together what he did? Nothing has changed from the first video to this one except for how the league reacted. When the new video was released the league felt embarrassed and had to act.

I'm also reading some opinion editorials online that suggest the league knew of this video. Some have gone on to say that the league may have pressured Tony and his wife to put on that press conference where he admits what he did and where she admits she may have gone too far.

"I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend," she wrote in on her Instagram feed. "But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare itself. No one knows the pain that the media & unwanted options from the public has caused my family. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret everyday is a horrible thing.

"To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass off for all his life just to gain ratings is horrific. THIS IS OUR LIFE! What don't you all get. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, you've succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you''


She's not painting herself as much of a victim is she?

HER income has dropped significantly. Instead of blaming him for the assault she's blaming society for reacting with outrage. She needs help too.
