The NFL player, Ray Rice, knocked out his fiancée, Janay Palmer, on February 15th, 2014, in an Atlantic City casino. Nothing would have happened if the video from security camera wasn’t made public. The video shows Ray carelessly dragging Janay’s unconscious body out of the elevator. Only after the video was released and made the headlines, the NFL suspended Ray for only 2 games.Six months later the video went viral, this time because it was published by TMZ, and it got even more attention in social media—and the season was about to start. Different gender and human right groups demanded action against Rice. Only after such an uproar, did the NFL suspend Rice—this time indefinitely and the Baltimore Ravens released him.
