A judge has ruled that Ray Rice can play football again.<\/p>\n

You remember this young man. He punched his then-fianc\u00e9e in the face, knocked her cold in a New Jersey casino elevator. He then got dumped by the Baltimore Ravens and was suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.<\/p>\n

A judge has said the former Ravens running back didn’t like to the NFL and that Commissioner Roger Goodell overstepped his discretion by suspending Rice indefinitely.<\/p>\n

Case closed?<\/p>\n

Not entirely. Rice is without a team. My question is, who is going to hire a guy with the kind of baggage this young man is packing around?<\/p>\n

I wish the suspension had stuck. The NFL is trying to mend its ways regarding domestic violence. The Rice case was thought to be a textbook case of a highly paid pro athlete gone out of control. Rice is one of several who face this kind of scrutiny.<\/p>\n

It’s embarrassed the league, Rice’s employer. And speaking of employers, don’t they have the right to insist that the people who work for them behave in a certain manner?<\/p>\n

I guess Rice will come back, or will at least attempt<\/em> to come back.<\/p>\n

We’ll see if winning matters more than character.<\/p>\n
