“As a former federal prosecutor, Mr. Smith brings tremendous experience and expertise,” they said. “The NFLPA will request that the NFL and the Baltimore Ravens cooperate in the interest of transparency. This investigation will run parallel to Rice’s appeal.”
Regardless of how the league and the Ravens feel about Rice striking his then fiancee, he has rights as a player, and the double punishment goes against the leagues due process.
