Ravens Fans Show Measured Support For Suspended RB Ray Rice

Ravens fans last night "showed support" for RB Ray Rice when he took the field for an open workout at M&T Bank Stadium, but they "seemed to recognize that an outsized ovation would not be appropriate in the wake of the domestic assault incident" that led to his suspension. Rice "got applause from segments of the crowd," then got a "bigger, general ovation when he was shown for the first time on the video board." There were "no discernible boos, but the volume of his reception was not significantly louder than the ovations for some of the other popular players featured on the videoscreen" (BALTIMORESUN.com, 7/28).
