We have Team Coverage for you right now. Debra is taking a live look at jeane rice standing by her man and how twitter users are talking about Domestic Violence. How the ravens and the nfl are handling the situation and Kristen Berset is live in owings mills with reaction from the players. We get started with ray rice himself. He talked to an epsn reporter about that situation, and ray said, and we quote, i have to be strong for my wife. She is so strong. Were in good spurts. We have a lot of people praying for us and will continue to support each other. I have to be there for jeane and my family and work through this. A lot of folks and organizations are severing ties with rice. He has been cut with the ravens, suspended by the league. Nike ended their business relationship. Rutgers is taking down a banner featuring the runningback. They are also removing clips from a highlight video that is shown during games. And, the makers of madden nfl15 say they are going to take rice out of the game as of friday. And jeane rice speaking out about that attack and her words are reverberating. The 26zyearold wife and mom shares her grief and her pain after the video of her then fiance striking her and knocking her out in an Atlantic City elevator was released to the world and she affirmed she would stand by her man, posting, we will continue to grow and show the world what real love is. And while some may rush to question jeanes commitment to the man, the ravens lets go yesterday. Debra alfarone is here. No woman wants to be treated like that. Before you judge her words, you have to walk a mile in her shoes. One woman did and she shared that on twitter. The hashtag, why i stayed, was born. It blew up today. And while it may be difficult for someone to understand why jeane said what she said, after this story, im hoping it can be a little bit clearer. One in four women in this country will experience Domestic Violence in their lifetime. But not many women will ever have their worst moment video taped and released for the world to see. Today, jeane rice spoke out publicly. To make us relive a moment in our lives that we regret every day is a horrible thing. And, about her husbands firing that this videos release triggered, to take something from the man i love that he worked his blank off for his whole life just to gain ratings is horrific. And wusa9 will not show the part. We will show the avalanche of social Media Support for jeane and other Domestic Violence victims sparked by Beverly Gooden of North Carolina monday. I tried to leave the house once after an abusive episode and he blocked me. He slept in front of the door that entire night. Hashtag, why i said. The Human Resources manager sparked a conversation with her hashtag. People chimed in, adding why i left. Like this tweet. 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 free. When average on the Domestic Violence field, we see women five to seven times before they left for good. Karma runs the d. C. Coalition against Domestic Violence. She says the tweets help shatter the damage that could be done by rushes to judgment. You are already being ice isolated from family and friends. So much twee that we think something is crazy or something is wrong for me for choosing this person and for choosing to stay. One in four women will be victims of Domestic Violence at some point in their lifetime and right now, there are four women in this studio. Think about that, everyone, the national nestic violence hot line is 1800799safe. If youre in immediate danger, call 911. What an important story. Its an important story and the other thing is, there may be, you know, one out of every four women that are suffering from Domestic Violence and you may not know if that person sitting next to you or across from you is suffering. Thats why its so important for us to Pay Attention to the signs and giving out that number is really important. Like i said, there are right now four women, any one of us could be affected at any time. Its an important thing to know about. That number is important. Lets hope more resources go into helping women who are victims and the attackers as well to hopefully change that behavior. Thank you. And throughout this newscast, were going to hear from women about their own experiences with Domestic Violence. Well continue to cover the story for some time. Derek, ill pitch it over to you. Thank you. And as for the ravens themselves, of course the games go on. They have another one this coming thursday night. Coaches and players are continuing to support ray rice, but the sentiment does not appear to be as strong as it was when the situation first started. Kristen berset is with the team in owings mulls and she has more on the reaction today. Kristen. Reporter yeah, derek, the Baltimore Ravens, they have a history of giving guys second chances. Really believing they can become better men. Thats what they tried to do with ray rice ever since this accident occurred in february. They were tweeting support, vocalizing support. Dozens of teammates stood by as he addressed the media and owned up to his reactions. Since the video came out, that appears to be dispating a little bit. The team woke up monday morning to see that video and instead of focusing on their short workweek and big rivalry game against the steelers thursday night, they were having to face the reality of what their former teammate had done. In the lock players wouldnt talk to the media. And some of those that did were extremely emotional. They are not completely abandoning ray rice, but it has become harder for them to support him. I said it before and ill say it again. It was a deplorable act. He made a terrible error in judgment. And like ifs said before, i think its easy in this situation to point a finger or blame rather than extend a hand of help. We tend to forget, we all focus on ray, but theres still a victim. She is like a sister to my wife. We are trying to support her, you know, just as much as ray. I have nothing but hope and good will for ray and jeane. And well do whatever we can Going Forward to help them. Try to make the best of it. Now you heard before some of the fallout since the video came out. Also the Baltimore Ravens sent out a tweet saying anybody that has a ray rice jersey can exchange it for another one. The team is on the practice field right now. Afterwards, well hear from the starters. Well bring that to you as soon as it becomes available. In owings mills, back to you in the studio. Thank you so much, kristen. Joining us now with more on the nfls role on the ray rice investigation, sports columnist, Christine Brennan is here. Always good to see you. Thank you, derek. This thing keeps growing and growing. Ray rice out maybe for ever. Is this what should have happened before we saw the video . Well, we saw the first video. I mean, when you see that ray rice is dragging the body of jeane palmer, his then fiance, what do we think happened inside there . Why did it take this video to show what we had to know happen inside thatelevator . I do think its very confusing with the National Football league. It was a twogame suspension. The new rules were up to six games and second offense, youre out for a year or more. This is his first offense. I cant figure out what the policy is. An d i think what it shows is the nfl is reeling. It doesnt know. It is reacting to the reaction yesterday. It may well be a good result, but how they got here is horrible. Earlier today, cbs news talked to goodell of the nfl. Lets listen to that sound bite and talk about it. To be clear, did you know a second offense occurred . We assumed there was a video. We asked for video. We asked for anything that was pertinent. We were never granted that opportunity. All right, so basically mr. Goodell said we didnt see the tape before yesterday. A lot of folks are wondering, wait a second, tmz is just tmz, youre the nfl. How could you not have gotten that tape . One of the things i heard from the new jersey prosecutors is it was grand jury evidence, so it could not be shared. If that is true, then that answers the question. But it does boggle the mind and of course we did see the other video. Again, i go back to i did have her dragging him out of the elevator. Right. Lets get to jeane rice. We heard from her today. She is devastating. If you wanted to take away all our happiness and make us feel alone and make our lives totally miserable, you have succeeded and im the real victim here, is what she is saying. Do you have any sympathy for what this situation is putting her through . Absolutely. Why she was paraded out there. Why she had to apologize. Theres a lot there. Im not a Domestic Violence expert, im a sports journalist. But she is, of course, a part of this story and continues to be. You feel for her. Hopefully she can help women that have been in her situation, and hopefully ray rice can help people and talk to men and tell them not to do what he did. Two years, three years from now, should ray rice ever be allowed to play again . Yes. There should be redemption for everybody. Why not . Especially if something good can come from it. If he does what michael vick can do. If he can be that kind of person, it would be a positive ending to a terrible story. Christine brennan, thank you so much. We know youll be back with us later in the hour to talk more about how other domestic abusers in the league are still playing and why that might be allowed to be the case.
