Brace yourselves NFL fans: Ray Rice, who cold-cocked his then-fiancée in a hotel elevator and dragged her on the floor like a sack of potatoes, could return to the field. Rice, 27, the ex-Baltimore Ravens running back, will appeal his indefinite domestic violence ban from the NFL in early November. The hearing for Rice’s appeal is set for Wednesday Nov. 5 and Thursday Nov. 6. He could very likely win his appeal, be reinstated and lobby to be picked up by an NFL team.

We all make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance – including Rice. But I would certainly like to see more time pass before Rice suits up for a game so we know he’s taking domestic violence seriously, that he’s going to therapy as promised, and, most importantly, that he’s not still abusing his wife. A photograph of a man in blackface wearing a Ray Rice Halloween costume and holding a black blowup doll by the hair, forced Janay Rice to respond via Twitter: “It’s sad that my suffering amuses others.”

I hope Palmer isn’t subjected to any more suffering, especially since she married Rice shortly after he knocked her out with a ferocious punch and showed no immediate remorse for his violent behavior. In my last column about Rice, I received several comments from female readers who said Rice deserved to return to the NFL because he needs to support his wife and family. Their argument was that his wife and daughter shouldn’t be penalized financially because of Rice’s abuse. So I guess it’s better to have Rice working and continue to overlook his violent tendencies?
