Ray Rice should never be allowed near the NFL again

Earlier today leaked video, provided by TMZ,  showed former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then fiancé in the face until she lost consciousness and then proceeded to drag her out of the elevator.  What the video showed was utterly disgusting and made me cringe down to my core.  The fact is clear and simple and how Roger Goodell handled the situation in July was pitiful. It's obvious what needs to happen here; Ray Rice should never ever be allowed to be apart of the NFL or anything that associates with the NFL and his ex-wife needs to press charges as soon as she can.  Anyone who has been involved in a long term relationship knows that your significant other can push you to the absolute edge, but there is one thing that is never tolerated and what Ray Rice did was the least professional action anyone in that kind of public spotlight could do.  Being someone who loves sports, especially football as much as I do, it saddens me to see the blatant disrespect that Ray Rice, Roger Goodell and by default the NFL displayed towards women throughout this entire process.
