Tonight, team over steven bishotti sent this note. Dear ravens stakeholders. You deserve an explanation. What happened with the ray rice incident . How could it come to this and why didnt we act earlier . He goes on to say we did not do what we should have done and no amount of explanation can remedy that. What we can do is share everything that occurred and vow to learn from all that has happened. As he replayed the event disclosed to the ravens, he also noted that soon after the video of janay and ray coming out of that elevator became public, we contacted casino management. These are his words and asked if there was view of the incident from inside of the elevator that we could see. The casino would not share such video. We asked the local new Jersey Police and the police refused as well. We asked the Prosecutors Office and that office refused. The nfl was also trying to retrieve and or see the video. Bishotti says seeing that video changed everything. He goes on to say, we should have seen it earlier and pursued our own investigation more vigorously. We didnt and we were wrong. Roger goodell is also chiming in for the First Time Since the full video came out. Heres goodells response over the heat hes getting to the leagues response of the video. Reporter commissioner Roger Goodell broke his silence in an interview with cbs this morning. Did you know a second tape existed . We had not seen any videotape of what occurred in the elevator. We assumed that there was a video. We asked for video, but we were never granted that opportunity. Reporter commissioner goodell also said its possible rice could return to pro football. He would have to make sure that we are fully confident that he is addressing this issue clearly, he has paid a price for the actions he has already taken. Goodell admitted that he, quote, didnt get it right in his light punishment of rice after the very first video came out. Now, do you own a ray rice jersey . The Baltimore Ravens say theyll do a trade with you. The Teams Holding a Jersey Exchange friday, september 19 and saturday the 20th at the stadium.

It also has to be one you bought or being have at the ravens stadium or online store and this is limited to one jersey per person and we should note fans will not be able to do this exchange at thursday nights game. Les. In an Instagram Post today, rices wife janay spoke out for the First Time Since he was cut from the ravens. She posted this Emotional Message on instagram blaming the media. Reading, quote, this is our life. If your intentions were to hurt us, embarrass us, make us feel alone, take all happiness away, youve succeeded on so many levels. Just know we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is. Ravens nation, we love you. This whole fallout has sparked a deep conversation 140 characters at a time. Domestic violence victims are taking to twitter and sharing their stories with the hashtag why i stayed and why i left. A North Carolina woman started it by sharing her story, quote, i tried to leave the house once after an abusive episode and he blocked me. He slept in front of the door the entire night. Hashtag, why i stayed. Others chiemd in like this woman who said, why i stayed, i thought he would kill me, why i left. I saw his eyes the moment he decided to kill me and i wanted to die. So those who help Domestic Violence victims every day tell us on average women will experience five to seven episodes before they finally leave for good. And today, our molla lenghe looked into the dynamics of an abusive relationship. Lesli, you can ask why someone stayed or left, but the answers are never easy. Every relationship and situation of abuse is different, from when someone decides to leave and why to who the victim is, and how they are abused. When she saw the elevator video of nfl star ray rice knocking out his then fiance, car men had the same response as many people. I initially was shocked, jarred. Its really hard to watch. Reporter although as the director of the coalition against Domestic Violence, she sees this or a version of it every day. She explains there are different dynamics from every abusive relationship, from the type of abuse to the reasons for staying. For some its a choice of staying there and being homeless. Being on the street. It could be an economic decision, you could have children and youre not sure or youre just not ready to leave. The thing i tell people, we cant rush to judgment and blame them. Reporter anything can trigger it, and anyone can be the victim or the abuser. Not all Domestic Violence victims are women. Certainly many times men can be the victim of abuse. Reporter janay stayed with her husband, ray. Theres no science to if or when a victim decides to leave. On average, it takes five to seven incidents of abuse before they do, but admits leaving comes with a risk. Violence tends to escalate the moment that power or control is taken away, and the survivor knows that. If it happens once, yes, its safe to assume it may happen again. Thats not to say people cannot change. Reporter change is exactly what rice says has happened to his relationship since the incident. Me and janay wish we could take back 30 seconds of our life. We definitely sit here today and tell you that we are better parents, we are better lovers, and were also better friends throughout the situation. To help illustrate, police in dc receive a call for Domestic Abuse once every 17 minutes, lesli. Moll athat is a staggering statistic. So if you or someone you know is a victim of Domestic Violence, help is a phone call away. You can contact the national Domestic Violence hot line anytime. The number to call is 800799safe. Today, Vice President joe biden called violence against women americas ugly little secret. He was speaking at the National Archives marking the 20th anniversary of the violence against women act. He says there is still bias in the american Justice System and america wont be able to move forward until it embraces one notion. Under no circumstance does a man ever have a right to raise a hand to a woman, other than in self defense, under no circumstance. That no means no, whether its in a bedroom, or on the street or in the back of a car, no means no. Rape is rape. No exceptions.
