Classy Raven Fans Give Ray Rice Multiple Standing Ovation At Practice...What A Hero! What A Guy!

BALTIMORE – Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has received a negative backlash from national media and fans since his altercation with then-fiancée Janay Palmer in February. But, in his home stadium, Rice apparently remains one of the most popular players on the team. On two separate instances, fans gave loud cheers when Rice was shown on the big screen at M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens held their first open practice of training camp. Many fans gave him a standing ovation. A few minutes later, Rice was again shown on the large video board. When fans cheered him, Rice tapped his chest. There were many fans wearing Rice’s No. 27 jersey, including several women and children.

I know what you’re thinking. What scumbags Baltimore people are. What absolute lowlifes. Like who cheers for a woman beaters? Have some pride. Have some class. Have some dignity. Well two things. First of all if you had any of those aforementioned traits you wouldn’t live in Baltimore. And not to defend Raven fans here, but they are probably just like “at least he didn’t murder anybody.”  I mean Ray Rice is as close to an upstanding citizen as they have over there. You take what you can get I suppose.
