6. Ray Rice KNOCKS OUT girlfriend then DRAGS Her From Elevator
On February 19th 2014 footage proved that what been argued as a “minor altercation” between Ray Rice and his then-fiancee was actually aggravated assault. It showed him pounding her twice in the side of the head then dragging her limp body from the elevator. For some reason, a month and a half later, the two got married. On July 24th, the NFL suspended him for two games. There was a huge backlash, with people claiming it was too lax a punishment. In response the commissioner of the NFL,Roger Goodell, beefed up the domestic violence policy for all staff. On September 12th, Rice was given an indefinite suspension. Goodell told the NFLPA that it was for providing them with a different account of that night than what could be seen on the tape, but really it was because he had already been punished for beating her.
