They're both idiots.

It is very simple, do not hit a woman. Or even a woman hit a man as there are men that are being abuse, it is common but not as much as a man beating up a woman.

Really Goodell is trying to "Kiss and make up!" For the two game soft suspension by laying down the punishment that domestic violence is not to be tolerated. Not just to the league, but for the rest of the world to follow!

Rice should be set an example of this! For all to see. Not just stars but everybody in this world!

He is right though Danno. In the eyes of the law..... Self defense.

As far as her still marrying after what he did to her, just shows her stupidity and maybe she's looking for a meal ticket.

I see the machismo is thick in here.

I'll start by saying that at 44 I've never put my hands on a woman and never will. I don't condone it, I also don't condone a female putting hands on a male.

I have daughters, both brown belts in TKD. At 9 and 6 they both pack enough speed and power to break boards, and that is more than enough to knock a man out.

I'm not going to speculate what area or era you two hail from but from experience.... These days 110 lbs of pissed off woman with 1" fingernails will phuck you up like dropping an opossum in your bath water. I suspect Rez has been on the receiving end at least once and I've been on the receiving end more than 1/2 a dozen times. I worked bars for years luckily I had someone to pull them off of me but if you ever want to bleed just try to break up a couple fighting, as soon as you put hands on him to throw him out she is on your head like a spider monkey on PCP.

Sapper..... A knockout doesn't require a lot of strength or power. All it requires is a light snap on the chin to hit a nerve in the jaw to cause the central nervous system to shut down. I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to but my military training has never incorporated "bloody skills" into either silent or standard threat neutralization.

In no way do I intend for what I am about to say next in a derogatory fashion. Irrational knee jerk reactions like some I have seen are precisely why the NFL killed Slap yo Moma red zone and just ended the career and income for a couple that neither was hurt from THEIR normal activities. She basically said that in her tweet. It's no ones business that they both put hands on each other. If he throttled her with all of his monstrous power her mouth would be wired shut. He didn't, hers isn't, they laughed about it in the morning.

Perception carries more weight than reality these days I suppose.

I got caught with 3 of those stupid ass windmill slaps to the face before I could blink one time. I can't even lie, I jabbed her in the mouth. Drew blood. That ended it. She and I never had that issue, or any issues ever again. But I I wasn't the last guy she tried that with.

As far as my wife, mother, or someone along those lines I'd never put my hands on them. But I can't lie like I can't be physically provoked to hit a woman, or anybody for that matter. I was brought up to be rough, and aggressive. My tolerance is extremely high for women, but once you take a couple of those bee sting, like punches from a girl it can flip the switch real fast.
