NFL Players Union May Appeal Ray Rice’s Indefinite Suspension
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — New developments in the ongoing Ray Rice saga. The players union left open the possibility it will fight Rice’s indefinite suspension from the league.
Investigator Mike Hellgren has more on what the NFL commissioner told the union in a new letter.
In the letter, Commissioner Roger Goodell says the video shows “a starkly different sequence of events” from what Rice and representatives told him at a meeting. But once again, anonymous sources are denying Goodell’s version of events.
The players union may appeal Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension from the NFL. In a new formal letter to the union, the commissioner says Rice met with him in June and never told him about the punch.
He described that meeting in his exclusive CBS interview.
“When we met with Ray Rice and his representatives, it was ambiguous about what actually happened,” Goodell said.
But four sources tell ESPN Rice clearly mentioned the punch: “A fifth source with knowledge of the meeting said Rice only told Goodell he had slapped his fiancee.”
“As a man, I can’t believe that he saw that video and gave a two-game suspension,” said Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti.
