In this op-ed by UTMB’s Jeff Temple: After an initially weak response by the NFL and victim-blaming by the Baltimore Ravens, pro football player Ray Rice was finally dropped from his team for knocking his wife (then fiancée) unconscious. It has been more than 100 days since the incident, and he was cut loose by his team only after a video clearly showed him knocking her out. The video of Rice dragging his victim’s body out of the elevator wasn’t enough to warrant this punishment. Apparently, NFL officials needed to see the punch. Some, including Rice, argued that he acted in defense. The Ravens tweeted, “Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.” Sound familiar? That’s because women in abusive relationships have heard this all before — “Why did you marry him?”; “Why do you stay?”; “What did you do to make him so angry?” And rarely do women in violent relationships have a video to document what happened to them.
