but I think Rice gets a PR boost if he wins the appeal. The negative PR can spin back toward the NFL for fricking it up twice in 6 months

Not really. It will make the NFL look bad but it also makes him look like he's only concerned with playing. He will have skipped the rehab phase of asking for the public's forgiveness.

This. That dude shoudn't get a "PR boost" from punching his wife in the face. It should make the NFL look bad, but it shouldn't have any effect on Ray Ray's shite image.

Has nothing to do with knocking anyone out.

That's a given

He should have been suspended 8 games to begin with and none of this backlash would have happened.

Why should he get punished for the NFL's frick up?

Hypothetical:

If a Ray McDonald video surfaced of him landing 10 blows to the face, should he get more than 6 games? No because those are the idiotic rules the NFL implemented.

Ideally he should be gone at least a year, just like Rice should be, but the NFL has no clue how to manage its own league
