Ray Rice elevator video deserves greater punishment?

Since the incident happened the NFL has suspended Rice for 2 games, which severely angered fans. However, now that the full video has been released, many are calling for a much greater punishment, as the amount of physical domestic violence is absolutely shocking.

While Janay Palmer married Ray Rice after the punching incident in the elevator, fans are disheartened that this NFL superstar, and role model to many, could do such a terrible thing, and believes he deserves to have much higher consequences than originally handed down by the NFL.

Meanwhile, Janay Palmer refuses to press charges against her husband for the punching incident.
