Here’s Why Ray Rice Will More Than Likely Play In The NFL Again

Believe it or not, Ray Rice will play in the NFL again.

Maybe not this season — on second thought, definitely not this season — but, it’s going to happen.

Rice will speak before Judge Barbara S. Jones in New York today, and appeal his indefinite suspension from the league.

His argument is simple: He told the truth to Roger Goodell, along with several other NFL officials, back in August before a second suspension was instated.

Of course, the disgusting tape wasn’t leaked until months later, and Goodell decided to up Rice’s suspension to an indefinite leave. Goodell would later say Rice’s admission was “ambiguous.”

The only problem is that the NFL had the elevator footage from the very beginning of the trial, and everything Ray Rice admitted to was on the film. With no new evidence, it’s simply unlawful to be punished twice for the same crime.

Ray Rice will, almost in all certainty, be reinstated into the NFL.

Bill Simmons made an interesting point about Ray Rice, and it’s one many people might not agree with: Could Rice really be the victim in all of this?

Simmons said,

Somehow he’s turned into a victim in this whole thing, even though he punched his wife in an elevator and knocked her unconscious. He’s not going to play this year.

No team is going to sign him, it would be a public relations disaster, but you can’t re-suspend somebody with no new evidence. This is one of the worst things Goodell has done and he’s done a lot of bad things.

The only real victim in all of this is Rice’s wife, Janay Palmer Rice. What she’s gone through over the course of the past year has not been easy, yet she still stands by Ray Rice and will most likely be there when he takes the field again.

That is, if any team decides to take him.
