[UPDATE: A previous version of this post referred to the NFL having not seen the TMZ video of Rice and his fiancee. Please note that it refers to the video of the incident inside the elevator.]
The NFL has received a lot of well-deserved shit for their complete botching of the Ray Rice situation, from the punishment itself to the their subsequent attempts at justification. Expect the groundswell of criticism to grow when people find out the league didn’t watch the video of Rice hitting his then-fiancee out of the Atlantic City elevator before rendering a decision.
