It is the last day of my well deserved break and the perfect time for me to break one of my commandments….”thou shalt not post on gossip”……but what the Hell? It is the weekend and I need something to say and post…….
I cannot for the life of me think of any reason I should care about the lives of celebs….overpaid brats that think their sh*t don’t stink. I could care less about Brad or Kanye and his wife and the life of Beyonce means NOTHING to me.
I go about breaking my commandment for the NFL and the Ray Rice story of him punching his wife into oblivion.
It appears that the NFL has basically fired Rice over the incident in an elevator where he sucker punched his then fiancee….knocking her out cold.
Everybody has jumped on the condemnation bandwagon for his action….that is except for his wife who has taken to social media blasting the media for covering this story ad nauseum…….she is blaming the media for making the NFL fire lover boy.
The public is now confused by her actions…..the MSM is running around hiring every shrink with a diploma and profiler to try and explain her indifference to being attacked……we are bombarded hourly with the same report over and over and the ‘experts’ keep talking smack…..
I will put it as simple as possible……if she is over the attack why is not the media? If she does not care….why should we?
My analysis may sound callous and unfeeling…..but if it were anybody else in average-ville we would not be having a needed conversation on domestic violence…..that is the upside….
That aside everybody is looking for an answer…..I will give you the answer, in my opinion, in a short poem…
The Bling
Is Everything.
Enough said…..Move on!
UpDate: Since I wrote this draft the story has gone from a wife hitter to the survival of the CEO of the NFL…….what did he know and when…..so the spotlight is off the dude that bitch punched his wife and her denial to the the game.
The latest game that the Ravens played the fans turned out in force in support of Rice……the game is everything to these mental midgets and anything that upsets their sensibilities is not acceptable….I was originally pissed at the wife for I thought she was worried about losing the lifestyle…..now it is those that cannot live without their game.
And now it is no longer about domestic abuse but rather what is the damage to the NFL…….and that is pathetic.
Is it just me or is it pathetic that saving the NFL is more important than domestic violence?
“I will put it as simple as possible……if she is over the attack why is not the media? If she does not care….why should we?”
Because this is bigger than her alone my friend, IMO. See my piece on this tomorrow but suffice it say that Janay Rice’s response on this is typical of someone early in their relationship that can’t see the forest for the trees as it relates to domestic violence in this country. Yes, “the bling” is a factor but it’s part of a codependent state that doesn’t recognize the violence as something far more serious.
Most if not all women who experience violent assaults from their husbands or boyfriends seldom see it only one time.
Enjoy what’s left of your weekend Chuq.
I will agree that it is a problem…..and I was trying to be sarcastic….guess it did not come away as such….my problem is that it is about saving the NFL any embarrassment…..the abuse seems to be secondary now……Mrs. Rice has not seen the last of her knock outs……
Sorry Chuq. Didn’t mean to come across as bashing you. I wonder too if this was the first of such incidences with Mrs. Rice
No problem…..I just hate that it is now about saving the NFL….her abuse is kinda lost in the hustle of the media to ‘get to the true’ BS
Wonder how much “bling” he gave. Rice bought and paid for her!
Good question…..bvut she needs to worry about when it will happen again.
I would say he apologized and promised not to do it again as he slipped on the 10k diamond, and sent her on a great shopping spree. Hope she doesn’t become a statistic.
Did you know that the NFL is a non-profit?
I had “heard” they were. I wasn’t sure now I am sure. Don’t people “worship” their favorite teams? For a few years I bought seasons tickets, then I finally figured out why sit in the cold, heat, rain etc. when I could sit in comfort at home.
I don’t think many know that fact. They do now because of your post. Doesn’t the govt. know how much more they could spend it they just had 10% of NFL’s receipts?
Here is something….the CEO of the NFL…Goodell makes about $40 million a year salary….I believe that is the figure I had heard….that is just sick…it’s a game.
I wonder if he pays less taxes than his secretary! There will be no change in the laws because the owners will just come out and say they won’t be able to support the Pop Warner teams.
The NFL gets special tax incentives for being a non-profit so my guess is yes so does he….
Non-profit hmmm. I guess that is why the CEO’s and players make great pay.
