one difference between the basketball Rice/abuse thing, and today's "abuse" of the softball team, is ...video
I believe none of the recent transgressions were videotaped.... If so, it just becomes a story in the newspaper, and probably Hobbs could survive, UNLESS someone is hell bent to get rid of him....but it is a lot harder than with Rice....hell, they even did a saturday night live skit about Rice, you will not see that about the softball issue.
video killed the radio star...... it also killed the Ray Rice pro career
