According to several unnamed sources that spoke with ESPN, the former Baltimore Ravens running back was forthcoming when asked what happened.Roger Goodell knew that Ray Rice punched his fiancée because Rice told him as much in person, according to sources that spoke with ESPN.
“Ray didn’t lie to the commissioner,” a source with knowledge of the meeting told ESPN. “He told the full truth to Goodell — he made it clear he had hit her, and he told Goodell he was sorry and that it wouldn’t happen again.”
“He told the truth,” a second source confirmed. “This is a public lynching of Ray.”
On Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens manager Ozzie Newsome told CBS Sports that Rice had in fact told him that he punched his then fiancée during the incident.
