  • Intro:

    Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh and the team's players reacted on Monday to a video that was released showing running back Ray Rice striking his then-fiancee in February.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens Head Coach

    "We had a chance after seeing something this morning, seeing the video this morning. We had a chance to get together with Steve (Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti), Dick (Ravens president Dick Cass), Ozzie (Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome), myself and we had a meeting. It was not a long meeting. We came to the decision that we came to, to release Ray (Rice). And that's what we did, so you know that. I had a chance to talk to Ray (Rice) along with Ozzie (Newsome) this afternoon, after we did it. And nothing but hope and good will for Ray (Rice) and Janay (Palmer) and we'll do whatever we can going forward to help him. You know, as they go forward and try to make the best of it."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) John Harbaugh, Baltimore Ravens Head Coach

    "I think the team responds just the way everybody responds to these things. And again you're talking about somebody you know. So, it's a little more challenging when you're talking about someone that's part of your family sort to speak. And so our guys, they felt it, and all the same emotions that everybody out there will feel, we all felt."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Justin Forsett, Baltimore Ravens Running Back

    "Yeah, it's definitely tough, seeing that, watching that video. But hopefully, I know for a fact that just being with him since the incident, working with him, been knowing him for a lot of years now, that he's definitely grown and matured and I'm not going to abandon him now. I'm going to be a friend and help him in his growth and development. But definitely ashamed watching it."
