But that wasn't your statement. Not really at all. It was all about his decision to bring a known felon around choir boy Hollywood Brown and how that proved he hadn't learned his lesson.

Like, you did the things Rice did, driving recklessly and leaving the scene, and you are accused of the thing Rice is accused of, luring and assaulting a photographer, and you think the best thing to do is bring your gang member friends to your workouts with Hollywood?
I feel like Rice is going to continue to make poor decisions, and it would not surprise me to see him end up being cut.
I know that seems like an overreaction, but he brought a known gang member, who was then arrested for gang crimes, to a workout with Hollywood Brown, and that, to me, shows that he hasn't taken anything seriously, and maybe he thinks he is bulletproof because he won a SB.
Care to triple down on your accusatory, incendiary mis-take? Or shall you move the goalposts even further away? [Reply]
Hanging out with a gang member makes you a target. How big of a target depends on you, your friend, the gang. I think we teach this in kindergarten in L.A. [Reply]

Hollywood Brown was friends with the gang member in question. Hollywood Brown had this guy at their workouts. When presented with this evidence, Fanatic shifted the goalposts.
No one is disputing that it's better to avoid gang members than to hang out with them. If it's someone's contention that Rice should've immediately canceled the workout with Brown once he saw this 'obvious' gang member show up, then we can have another conversation about being omniscient and building rapport with teammates.

I think we should all be worried about Hollywood Brown. He's a gang member.
Our WR room is a bunch of thugs. What is Breach doing?
Brown: Gang Member
Rice: Known Felon/Violent offender/gang member
Toney: Rapper - probably gang member
Ross: Woman abuser/gang member probably
Worthy: Probably a gang member
Watson: White supremacist
Moore: Who cares [Reply]

If there was physical evidence that someone punched the guy in the face, they likely won't just drop everything just because the photographer says nothing happened. (See countless DV cases where the abused doesn't want the abuser prosecuted.)
There is nothing to let go, there have never been any charges filed weeks later so it seems unlikely they would push to charge him at this point when the victim stated it was a misunderstanding. [Reply]
