ESPN brought out accused double murderer Ray Lewis to talk about the Rice incident. Lewis said that his situation and Rices were nothing alike. He was, of course, completely correct. Rice wasnt charged with double murder, didnt hide a bloody suit that no one has found more than 14 years later, didnt suddenly turn states evidence two weeks into a double murder trial to testify against his two co-defendants while pleading guilty to obstruction of justice and didnt pay millions of dollars in wrongful death settlements to the victims families. If Lewiss double murder charges happened today as opposed to in 2000, its likely Lewis never plays in the NFL again. As is, hes a Hall of a Famer in waiting employed by Disney with a statue outside the Ravens stadium. The message is simple: If youre good enough at sports, you can get away with murder. Just so long as it isnt on video.
