- Enter Paul George of the Indiana Pacers on the enabler side.
According to Yahoo!, he ranted the following:
"I don't condone hittin[g] women or think it's coo[l], BUT if she ain't trippin then I ain't trippin... Let's keep it movin lol let that man play"
Adam Silver, you got a live one here. This is "duty of loyalty" materal.
And if that isn't enough:
"If you in a relationship and a woman hit you first and attacking YOU... Then you obviously ain't beating HER... Homie made a bad choice."
No, homie... YOU made a bad choice, and, with Adam Silver running the NBA, you might well have a lot longer to heal that bum knee of yours.
- Tonight appears like it's going to get quite ugly in Baltimore.
Deadspin has this compilation of football apologists, and, as I expected, Ray Rice jerseys will be out in full force tonight. (Even though the Ravens will apparently, free of charge, exchange any other Raven's jersey for anyone wishing to rid themselves of Rice's.)
A fan talking to Mike Garafalo of Fox Sports 1: "I don't believe in domestic violence, but I will say: any woman who can hit a man, a man shouldn't have to sit there and take the abuse."
Where's that "loudest manure chant" from the replacement refs game?
- According to an unnamed NFL owner familiar with the discussion, it is now official: Roger Goodell believed Janay Rice was (at least partially) at fault for her own assault. (Deadspin, through the Wall Street Journal) Moreover, the only reason he suspended Rice at all appears to be that actually making that stand public would've been a bad PR move.
- And, yet, this ESPN interview with Bill Polian went all wrong.
