Lots of domestic violence mansplaining happening on ESPN right now

Lots of domestic violence mansplaining happening on ESPN right now over Ray Rice getting cut. What I've heard so far:

"You see that video and it really knocks you back." <--- not the best choice of words

"Domestic violence isn't pretty." <--- ya think?

"Someone needs to reach out to Ray Rice and make sure he's OK." <--- cuz he's the victim

Actual quotes, all coming in about a minute and a half.

The guy is guilty of a crime and there is a visual recording of it. He's the concern?

You know, ESPN has to do a better job of screening their on air personalities. Just because you played in the NFL doesn't mean you're ready for primetime TV.

Sheesh was that ever stupid.
