Rashee Rice, a receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is facing a multitude of challenges following a street race that resulted in a six-car crash on Saturday night. Legal consequences are at the forefront of Rice’s mind as he may face civil liability and even criminal charges if it is found that he was driving one of the cars involved.
In addition to legal ramifications, Rice may also face repercussions from the NFL and the Chiefs. The league could discipline him under the Personal Conduct Policy if it is determined that he was driving and street racing, particularly if he left the scene of the accident with injuries. This could result in a suspension from the league. Meanwhile, the Chiefs could also take action against Rice for his involvement in the incident.
The team has several options when it comes to dealing with Rice’s actions. They could choose to release him for his behavior and potentially void his guaranteed salary for next season. Alternatively, they may opt to keep him on board but take disciplinary action against him for conduct detrimental to the team. However, it may be challenging for them to justify this as the incident occurred during the offseason and did not directly impact his job performance on the field.
As Rice navigates this difficult situation, there are also potential employment issues that he must consider. It remains to be seen how things will unfold for him both legally and professionally as he tries to move forward from this unfortunate incident.
