Even though a grizzly video was released this week showing more graphic details of Ray Rice hitting his wife, some fans, and especially female fans are still standing with him! They showed their support in droves last night prior and during the Ravens game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think more people expected jersey burning and negative talk but instead found quite the opposite. Fans seemed to be in a good mood and they were definitely making it a point to show they still love Rice. One woman who was interviewed even said Janay Rice deserved to be hit!! I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion but that comment is going to far to me. People idolize athletes and in the eyes of fans like that it makes it harder to look at their favorite player in a negative light. Hit the jump for the pics.

I love this! We as Americans need to learn to forgive people for their mistakes, instead of putting a scarlet letter on them! Our society likes to brand people that fuck up and never let them live it down! Are you perfect? Exactly. Not defending Ray Rice, but shit happens when liquor’s involved. He seems to realize he has some issues to deal with. I’m glad these people support him.
