After graphic footage surfaced Monday of Ray Rice knocking his fiance out cold in an elevator, Seth Rogen became very pissed off.
The Baltimore Ravens running back got a lax two-game suspension after he punched his then-fiance (and now wife) Janay Palmer in an elevator and dragged her unconscious body out of an Atlantic City hotel lobby in February. He sat out the game versus Cincinnati this weekend. (RELATED: Video Surfaces Of Ray Rice Punching Fiance)

After much uproar over the easy suspension, league commissioner Roger Goodell apologized and toughened penalties on domestic violence. Players now face a six-game suspension for a first offense and a lifetime ban for the second.
However, Seth Rogen seems to think that change comes a little late.
I don’t know much about football, but I know that Ray Rice is a piece of garbage who shouldn’t be allowed to play it professionally anymore.

.@nflcommish your punishment for beating a woman is less than for smoking weed. Get your head out of your fucking ass.

After the incident, the Ravens tweeted out that “Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.” She also declined to testify against Rice, and the charges were reduced from felony assault to court-supervised counseling.
