Breaking News: Ray Rice terminated by team, suspended by NFL after new violent video

Social media has been in a frenzy today after the full video between Ray Rice and his now wife, Janay Palmer surfaced which prompted a news release “The Baltimore Ravens terminated the contract of RB Ray Rice this afternoon,” it read.

Shortly after the team’s announcement, the league said the three-time Pro Bowl selection was suspended indefinitely.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, who had originally given Rice a two-game ban, increased the suspension after viewing the new video for the first time, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said on Twitter.

The new video shows Rice punching Janay Palmer, who was his fiancee at the time, inside an elevator at a hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, seven months ago.

TMZ Sports posted the video today showing Rice and Palmer entering an elevator. Inside the elevator, Rice punches Palmer. Palmer lunges after Rice, and then Rice hits her again and she falls to the floor.

Previously, TMZ Sports had released hotel surveillance video of Rice dragging an unconscious Palmer out of the elevator. This is the first time video has been released that shows Rice punching her.

A few months after the incident, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Rice without pay and fined him an additional game check for “conduct detrimental to the NFL.”

However, no one in the NFL offices, including Goodell, had seen the newly released footage of the incident until today, the league told CNN.

Is there a portion of the video missing? Here at ThaAfterparty, we’re trying to understand what was done that warranted him to punch her like he did AND furthermore why she chose to look past this and marry him anyway?!? TUNE IN TO YOUR FAVORITE SHOW AND BE A VIRTUAL CO-HOST BY CALLING IN ON THE TOPIC OR HEAR YOUR COMMENTS READ ON AIR!!!
