Hours after a disturbing video of NFL running back Ray Rice knocking out his fiancee on an elevator surfaced, the Baltimore Ravens announced Monday afternoon (Sept. 8) that the team has terminated his contract.
TMZ obtained video of 27-year-old Rice punching his wife, Janay Palmer, at the Revel Hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey this past February. Rice was currently serving a two-game suspension ordered by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell earlier this year.
The firing comes after the league issued the following statement: "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."
In May, Rice hosted an SMH-worthy press conference, apologizing to team owner Steve Bisciotti, general manager Ozzie Newsome, and head coach John Harbaugh, but... not his wife. In a PR-ready statement, he said, "Failure is not getting knocked down, it's not getting back up."

Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) said Monday that it is introducing a "Buy" button that will allow users to purchase items by clicking on tweets from certain accounts.
The button will give users the option to buy a product with just a few clicks, according to a blog post by Twitter group project manager Tarun Jain.
After tapping the "Buy" button, users will see more information on the product and will be prompted to enter their shipping and payment information. Twitter said personal information, such as credit card numbers, will be encrypted and stored safely so that users do not need to re-enter it each time they make a purchase.
Twitter said users will be able to buy products they can't get anywhere else; while sellers will have an opportunity to connect with buyers and drive sales.
