Ray Rice’s contract was terminated with the Ravens after TMZ released a video of him knocking his wife out unconscious. Now we are learning that one of the reasons the Ravens finally decided to part ways with him is because the video did not match the story he told them.
The Ravens have cut Ray Rice. Told one factor was his version of what happened didn't match with video.

It was heavily implied that Janay Palmer was the aggressor in this altercation and somehow “provoked” Rice to strike her in the elevator so one can assume that is picture he painted for the Ravens. The video clearly disproves that and shows that Rice was the instigator. It is sad that a video was necessary for the Ravens and NFL to take a serious stand against domestic violence.
