In Dallas, Rashee Rice has surrendered to authorities following eight felony charges in connection with a street race that led to a six-car accident. He has been released on a $40,000 bond but has not yet been charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries. It is possible that additional felony charges may be brought against him in the future.
Despite the seriousness of the charges against Rice, neither the Chiefs nor the NFL have taken any action against him. The lack of action by the league and the team appears unfavorable when compared to SMU’s decision to suspend Theodore Knox, who was also involved in the street race. It may be beneficial for both parties to suspend Rice indefinitely while legal proceedings continue. This would send a message to other players about the risks and consequences of reckless behavior that endangers lives. Whether paid or unpaid, it is crucial for Rice and his team to take responsibility for their actions and face any consequences that may arise from this incident.
