Ravens release Ray Rice

I don't understand the "fire Goodell" thing. As far as I know he didn't make Rice hit his wife. And it is not like the NFL hasn't made bad punishment choices before. Later this year, the Cowboys get back a player who got only 10 games for killing a teammate. The Panthers and the 49ers both had players week 1 who were accused of domestic violence. The only difference is that there is no video of them.

The only thing that I could see costing Goodell his job is if was lying about whether he had seen the elevator tape. At that point no one would trust his word ever again and he wouldn't be able to go forward.
