Ray Rice, the previous NFL working again whose profession ended after he assaulted his then-fiancee — the fees have been dropped — will likely be honored by his former crew Sunday.
The Baltimore Ravens chosen Rice to be the “Legend of the Recreation” and issued extraordinarily tone-deaf, passive remarks within the announcement:
“In 2014, Rice’s incident ended his profession and put him within the heart of a nationwide dialog about home violence.
Rice is being acknowledged for the participant he was, and for the redemption he has labored in the direction of. Out of the general public eye, Rice has been engaged on himself, his relationship, and throughout the group.”
As had been beforehand reported, Rice was seen on video knocking Janay Palmer unconscious and dragging her out of the elevator of an Atlantic Metropolis on line casino.
“I knew it could be exhausting to forgive me, however the one factor I’ve been per was that I used to be going to be higher. I’m not going to be a sufferer of my previous,” Rice mentioned. “My legacy gained’t be home violence. My legacy will likely be what I turned after.”
Nonetheless, honoring a participant with a checkered previous is nothing new for Baltimore, who inducted Ray Lewis — who had double homicide prices in opposition to him (later dropped) — into its Ring of Honor, alongside Jamal Lewis, who served jail time after pleading responsible to utilizing a cellphone to attempt to arrange a drug deal.
A lot for the character clause.
