Ray Rice cut by Ravens after video of elevator punch

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/ray-rice-cut-ravens-video-elevator-punch/story?id=25347953

The Baltimore Ravens terminated Ray Rice's contract today after a video emerged of the running back punching his then fiancee in an Atlantic City hotel elevator.

The NFL followed up by suspending Rice indefinitely, which would prevent another team from picking him up. Earlier in the day, the NFL said it had never seen the violent video before it suspended him for two games earlier this summer for domestic abuse.

"We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator," the NFL said in a statement today. "The video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."





good!

Of course, had there been no viral video they would have happily kept that violent creep on the team.
