Question for the lawyers on this board (you dirty scumbags ): How does Ray Rice not have a legitimate legal complaint against the Ravens and the NFL for how it has handled his employment status? I'm not defending his crime, but he reportedly DID tell them precisely what happened in the elevator, and the league office DID hand down discipline. Nothing has changed except for the new video confirming what Rice supposedly told them.
According to Adam Schefter, he may have a legitimate legal complaint against the league, because punishing him twice for the same incident is against the terms of the CBA. I don't know if any of this is actually true, but I generally consider Schefter a reliable source, and he seemes to think that Goodell is basically just daring Rice and/or the NFLPA to try to take on this league and seem pro-wifebeater.
