This is so ****ing stupid, and typical of you.

The video had very little impact on anything. Of course a video of a man putting his hands on a woman is a game changer. It's juicy. A video of a car wreck that wasn't even deadly, and shows nobody getting hurt, isn't going to move the needle at all. To this day, I remember exactly what the Ray Rice and Hunt videos looked like. I can hardly even remember the Rice video already.

I cant even believe you're trying to make this reeruned ass argument.

The Rashee Rice video changed absolutely nothing.

The reaction tells you everything you need to know about how bad the video is from an optics perspective. Everybody knew there was an accident/wreck. Seeing it doesn't really have an emotional impact. Seeing somebody commit domestic violence is the kind of breaking news video that makes thing significantly worse.

Video of Kamara and his possee beating the **** out of a guy didn't even move the needle much in terms of national outrage, but I'm supposed to believe a video of a car wreck did? LMAO

The Ray Rice video, sure. The Hunt video wasn’t the same, especially given the fact that it’s been said that the front office actually release Kareem because he lied about the incident, not because of the incident or video itself.

Some say "fleeing". Others he was casually walking away. Maybe to find help or slightly concussed so not in the right frame of mind :) the other point could be the driver climbed over him to get out :)

I mean even Chiefs podcasters have speculated about 8 games. It's ridiculous. Are you going to suspend played who are driving under the influence of alcohol or pot because they "could" have killed somebody? To me that's what you have to look at here if you are the NFL. It's an auto accident. The guy that got hurt didn't want Rice to be charged with assault. Its one thing to make an example out of domestic abuse cases, if you choose to make an example out of Rice you better be willing to suspend anyone for 8 games with impaired driving.

Also, note the story of the alleged photographer assault. That story was out in the wind for like two weeks before charges were suddenly dropped but it didn’t reach near the level of nationwide exposure that the car crash did.

Wonder why..

I haven't even gone into the fact that this started a comparison to Rice and Sutton.

No reasonable person sees a car wreck with minor injuries and has a stronger emotional reaction than reading a headline about a man strangling his girlfriend and throwing her out the ****ing window. Like what are we even talking about here? This is such a stupid argument.

LMAO

Most people didn't even see that video. Nobody cares about the actual video.

Because he was never even ****ing charged and there were witnesses and the owner contradicting the photographers story. This is also just a reeruned ****ing argument from you.

And again, an assault on video isn't remotely comparable to a ****ing car wreck and guys walking away from it. Car wrecks with minor injuries have no real emotional impact just because it's on video, even if they're fleeing the scene too.
