In re Ray Rice and Roger Goodell

Ahem.

• Domestic violence is a bad thing.
• Whatever good things Ray Rice has done in his life, he's effectively negated them with his actions.
• I don't know what else to say about Roger Goodell except to quote Bill James's observation, which I first quoted a few years ago:

What Watergate was about was not the corruption of government, as most people thought, but rather, the establishment of new and higher standards of ethical conduct. Almost all scandals, I think, result not from the invention of new evils, but from the imposition of new ethical standards.
