Recently, a story broke that Ravens running back Ray Rice was charged with assault for an incident involving his significant other at an Atlantic City casino. It is reported that during a verbal altercation in an elevator, Rice allegedly struck his wife in the face and knocked her out. Now a new story is out that says the charges have escalated and Rice is now being charged with Aggravated Assault. If rice is charged with Aggravated Assault, he will face 3-5 years in prison.
This is one of the many incidents reported of professional athletes abusing their significant other. Other athletes such as Chad Ochocinco, Raymond Felton, and Adam Jones have reportedly assaulted their wives or girlfriends. Why is it that these men who have everything find it necessary to hit the women they love? Is it because they're given god like status by everyone and as soon as someone doesn't worship them they snap? Is it because they get what they want in every aspect of life and can't handle rejection? Or is it just their character, do they believe that abusing women is morally right? Whatever the case is for Ray Rice, the Ravens might want to draft a running back in this years draft.
