Janay Rice wife of ex Raven's football player Ray Rice released this statement via Instagram about her husband being released from the Ravens franchise.

"I woke up this morning feeling like I had a horrible nightmare, feeling like I'm mourning the death of my closest friend. But to have to accept the fact that it's reality is a nightmare in 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 every day is a horrible thing. To take something away from the man I love that he has worked his ass of 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 and show the world what real love is! Ravensnation we love you!"

Who exactly is the NFL/Ravens punishing and for what ? This woman has obviously forgiven her husband and they are working to make their relationship work. Is this really any of this man's jobs business ?

He wasn't prosecuted and the legal system let him off for what he did, that is how the American justice system works. Sometimes in life you can't help people that don't want to be helped.

What Ray Rice did was wrong, but if the person who he did it to forgives him and the legal system let him off, then why shouldn't his job ? What do you think leave a comment or call 518 336 5991 and leave a voicemail.
