News about Ray Rice

Ray Rice was honored by the Baltimore Ravens before his game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, a decade after the running back played his last game with the team before a domestic violence controversy ended his career. Rice was with the Ravens from 2008 to 2013, but he never played in the NFL again after a video of him striking his fiancée in the elevator of a hotel emerged. Rice has been back to M&T Bank Stadium since then. He was named as part of Baltimore's 2012 team that captured the Super Bowl last season.

Ray Rice will be honoured by the Baltimore Ravens as a Legend of the Game a decade after he was caught in the cold by kicking his then-fiancee Janay Palmer out of the door. Rice, who is now 36, led the Ravens to their second Super Bowl victory in 2013, and the running back was also a three-time Pro Bowler during his six years with the franchise. However, his career was effectively ended by the horrific assault in February 2014, which culminated in the then 27-year-old hitting his now-wife in the chest, sending her crashing to the ground, ending his life.

Skip Bayless' statement that First Take was 'on probation' at one point during their time together was correct, suggesting that Bayless was partially culpable. Smith acknowledged that his controversial remarks regarding Ray Rice put them in jeopardy, but also the company's dissatisfaction with Bayless' Tim Tebow obsession contributed. During a recollection of his infamous chat with former debate partner Richard Sherman during the ex-Seahawk's sophomore season in 2013, Bayless outlined First Take's challenges.

The attorneys general of New York and California announced on Thursday that they are looking into allegations of workplace discrimination at the NFL, citing lawsuits brought by employees alleging sex, racial and age discrimination, sexual assault, and a hostile work environment. Attorney Letitia James, of New York, and Rob Bonta, of California, announced subpoenas to NFL employees as part of an investigation into the company's corporate culture in both states. The officials said they were using their legal rights to request information from the NFL concerning allegations of gender wage discrimination, bullying, and racial discrimination.
