Yes, Goodell deserves a ton of shit, but let's not overlook this disgusting, offensive organization. And the fish rots from the head.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh fielded some questions about Ray Rice during his press conference at preseason camp today, and he decided to invoke "the children," for some reason.
After referring to Rice as a "heck of a guy," he explained how Rice receiving just a two-game suspension and zero jail time for knocking his wife unconscious and then dragging her out of an elevator provides a lesson for kids on the way things "should be."

(20,176 posts)I also have a lovely one of Dr. Ben Carson today saying that the liberal media is demonizing Ray Rice and ruining his career.
So, to the NFL, the Ravens organization, coaches and their ardent fan, noted Republican dipshit and genius surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson...they truly deserve this:
A hearty fuck off!
In the case of the Ravens and the NFL, doing the right thing too late and only under great public outrage gets you only marginally more credit than not doing anything at all. In Ben Carson's case, I dunno, I expected better than domestic-violence apologia and defense of a wifebeater from even that asshole.
