You don’t really believe the quickie marriage was anything more than a convenient way for him to avoid jail time? If he had gone to jail , his NFL career would be over. Rice had previously bought her an engagement ring as well as a new car. Janay was a gold digger from the beginning. This allowed him to continue playing, get a easy deal from the prosecution, and serve the minor suspension from the NFL. If the TMZ tape wouldn’t have come out, that’s exactly what would have happened. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ray-rice-goes-tubthumping/689126)._
