The NFL, John Harbaugh, Ravens President Dick Cass and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti all said that the tape change things because Ray Rice didn’t tell the truth.
But, Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome says the exact opposite to the Baltimore Sun.
What was the reaction to the video?
Steve Bisciotti: “It was tough to watch the video that came out Monday. It was embarrassing for all of us to watch the first video that came out months ago. That was embarrassing, that was sad. Monday’s video was disgusting and shocking to us.”
Did the video match the story Ray Rice told you?
Ozzie Newsome: “You know. Ray had given a story to John [Harbaugh] and I. And what we saw on the video was what Ray said. Ray didn’t lie to me. He didn’t lie to me.”
Dick Cass: “There’s a big difference between reading a report that says he knocked her unconscious or being told that someone had slapped someone and that she had hit her head. That is one version of the facts. That’s what we understood to be the case. When you see the video, it just looks very different than what we understood the facts to be.”
Well someone is lying.
Either Ray Rice is lying or the members of the Ravens are lying about the fact Rice told them the truth about what happened in the elevator.
I don’t think Ozzie Newsome is a liar, so I am going to believe him over anyone else and the NFL has proven they are liars and manipulators of the truth.
