BISHOP: We condemn Rice; but what about Mayweather?

On Monday, TMZ.com released video of Rice striking his then-fiancée, now-wife Janay Palmer in an Atlantic City casino on Feb. 15. Rice was cut by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the NFL later that day. He had previously been suspended by Goodell for two games.

ABC reported Wednesday that the Baltimore Ravens knew the surveillance video existed, and Rice's lawyer had a copy of the footage, but did not ask to see it.

Albert Breer of NFL Network reports the Ravens said they asked the lawyer for the tape, but "he said he didn't have it at that time, but that he had seen it."

Several individuals and organizations have called for Goodell to resign, including the National Organization for Women and U.S. senator Heidi Heitkamp.

On Wednesday, ESPN reported that Rice twice spat in the face of Palmer, which prompted Palmer's reactionary movements that led to Rice's punch.
