I don't believe for a second people would have accepted this. This isn't some drunk driving accident where he gets punished by being force to lecture high schoolers about the dangers of drinking and driving.Let's assume that Ray Rice is not a monster with a long history of abusive behavior, but that this was a one-time event (we don't know, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt). He could have accepted responsibility for his actions, made it clear what circumstances were involved that helped facilitate (but not excuse) such actions, accepted his punishment, and become the NFL poster-boy for a domestic violence policy and campaign.
Do you want a girlfriend abuser lecturing you about not beating your girlfriend?
