Baltimore Ravens Terrell Suggs is just like his former teammate, Ray Rice


Justin Fenton, Baltimore Sun:

"NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league would "take a look at it as we would any such matter to try to understand the facts."
Those seeking protective orders on their own are instructed by court officials that they have the option of filing criminal charges, and police said they do not take action if the petitioner declines. If a final protective order is granted by a judge, McCullough said, police domestic violence coordinators may conduct a follow-up investigation.
In an area in which petitioners are asked to describe "past injuries," Williams lists "busted lips, broken nose, black eyes, bruises." Williams wrote that Suggs used an obscenity and said he was going to "drown [her] with this bleach."
The NFL was to look at this incident on December 10, 2009. It does not appear that they looked very hard.

Brent Axe, Syracuse:
In his first interview since a tape of Ray Rice striking his wife in an elevator emerged, Goodell told Norah O'Donnell on "CBS This Morning" that the NFL "has a problem" with domestic violence.

"One case is too many, Goodell said.

At present, there are 30 players and one owner on suspension in the NFL. Ray Rice makes 31 players sitting out. The Arizona Cardinals signed RB Chris Rainey. Chris was kicked off the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2012 after slapping his girlfriend. He was also tossed off the University of Florida squad due to a felony charge of aggravated stalking in 2010. it isn't a stretch to think he could add to the total.
