Talk about someone getting fired on their day off..
The NFL has just announced their decision to give Ray Rice the boot just hours after security footage of him punching his wife in the face surfaced on the web.
The initial punishment for Rice was a two-game suspension, but after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell saw the latest video evidence, the decision to terminate the running back from the league became a no brainer.
The announcement comes on the heels of the Baltimore Ravens releasing a statement of terminating Rice's contract with the team after also reviewing the full footage of the video.
Back in July, when asked about the elevator knockout, Rice said in a news conference, "I made the biggest mistake of my life. I want to own it."
Welp my friend, I think you're most definitely "owning it" now.
Rice's original suspension was scheduled to end this Friday.
