Ray Rice's actions are indefensible. Right thought, wrong execution from PG24. Reach out privately, not through a public forum. Paul George only comes out looking bad tweeting support when it's trendy and vogue to bash and pile on Ray Rice. As a Rutgers alum, I share neutral stance. What Rice did is disgusting, likely liquored up and exhibiting a short fuse in AC. Could and should have walked away, easier said than done. Or left her period if the relationship and fights were that grueling. Everyone makes mistakes, he just got caught, on tape. He deserves to be suspended, but not for a lifetime ban. Ravens cutting him makes perfect sense, it was the only play and ownership/FO was handcuffed into that decision. Rice presumably needs marriage and anger management counseling, plus year(s) of rehabilitation. I think he should and will play football again in the NFL. By his own action and poor decision-making, Rice has become a casualty of the modern PR era. He's being scapegoated and dragged through the mud.
I don't get how people can clown or criticize PG24 for allegedly offering a woman money to have an abortion. I can see how it can be construed as offensive, but also shrewd from a business perspective. Paul George likely has and does not want a relationship with the woman. He doesn't sound ready or willing to be a father. Instead of long-term child support payments like other athletes, he's offering short-term compensation in a large sum. Just because he has money, it isn't wrong to consider abortion if you're not ready to accept fatherhood.
