Why Didn't Ray Rice Get the Richie Incognito Treatment Right Away?

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell offers sympathy to an assaulter but pariah status for a bully.

Richie Incognito, an All-Pro offensive lineman, was branded a thug, faced countless hours of interrogation by league officials and their lawyers, and now can’t get a job in the NFL because he was found guilty of “bullying” a fellow lineman of equal size and strength.

Ray Rice, an All-Pro running back, was suspended for a mere two games, faced no similar league inquisition, and was heralded by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell as a decent guy who made a simple “mistake” when he was caught on video dragging his unconscious fiancée out of the elevator after what appeared to be a physical altercation.

Welcome to political correctness, Goodell-style.

Why do we keep shifting the blame to someone else? The player knocked out a woman in an elevator! We have proof , he is guilty . Who the hell cares what the commissioner did , or how he reacted. This player should be in jail for a number of crimes. Oh that's right , I' so sorry , we can't really blame him cause he's black. It's now legal for blacks to steal , rob , damage provide property , assault , kill all because of Trayvon and Ferguson.

This is not the world's problem this is Ray Rice and his wife's problem.How does Roger Goodell and others have their job threatened because of someone's personal problems?
