We all make mistakes, Ray Rice made a big mistakes. All mistakes aren’t created equally, so he may never live down what he did in that elevator, with that being said I hope he has the opportunity to prove that he has learned from his mistake.
Here was his statement after winning his appeal.
“I would like to thank Judge Barbara Jones, the NFL Players Association, my attorneys, agents, advisors, family, friends and fans – but most importantly, my wife Janay.”
“I made an inexcusable mistake and accept full responsibility for my actions. I am thankful that there was a proper appeals process in place to address this issue.”
“I will continue working hard to improve myself and be the best husband, father and friend, while giving back to my community and helping others to learn from my mistakes.”
He is still a man without a team and at a position that isn’t very valued, so we will have to see if someone gives him a second chance.
