so i could be wrong, but i believe it has been stated that the video is not inconsistent with what Ray Rice told the NFL and Ravens. That said i believe they got it right the second time, but in theory the video shouldn't change the Ravens view because they already knew what happened. Bottomline they were fine with the punishment and to allow him to play this year as long as the general public never saw the video. This punishment has less to do with what Ray did and more to do with their inability to hide from what Ray did. I am not saying i don't agree with the end result, but it think it is hugely disingenuous for them to act like their mind was changed by the video, their minds were changed by the publics access to the video. Two completely different things.
