Plus Ray Lewis was convicted of murder? Manslaughter? and later returned to the NFL.
There's nothing preventing Ray Rice from applying to be reinstated later on. The reaction in this case was very much a PR move.
BeoPuppy:
Nope.
Two weeks into the trial Lewis's attorneys, Don Samuel and Ed Garland, negotiated a plea agreement with the District Attorney where the murder charges against Lewis were dismissed in exchange for his testimony against Oakley and Sweeting, and his guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice.

This guy, on the other hand should be out of a job.

Out of interest, roughly where would you draw the line on this one?
Is there anything outside of a player's sport that you feel would merit a termination of their job or a ban by the governing authority?

I don't think anything a player does away from one's sport that should merit termination. To go further, I think employers should have an obligation to rehire felons after they're released from prison.

Clearly a match made in Stockholm.

I assume we're talking about Ray Rice. I'll relay a personal anecdote. A fellow coworker of mine is on the chopping block because of an incident where he represented the company name while attempting to start a fight at the bar I moonlight at. Rice is constantly a representative of the NFL, and committed a pretty high profile crime. I fail to see a distinction between the two. My coworker is small time, Rice is nationally televised every time he takes the field. Where is the line?
