Too long enough poor people would have been arrested the same day …

[demetrius]

Broooo why throw away your career for a race?! That's goofy 🤪

[truckermike]

Why hasn't the Chiefs or the NFL done anything yet. Probably won't focus on this until after the draft

[WalkawayRene]

He is still hiding? Why hasn't he been booked yet? He is not sorry since he walked casually by all the injured people and never tried to help them. He didn't care if they were alive or dead. He is not a good role model for children or adult men.

[KingNubs]

If he takes full responsibility then he will go into court and plead guilty and pay these victims

[MaineRadioRewind]

He's just trying to set a good example for the next generation of street racers. If you cause a wreck....run!

[papamurphsturf]

This is one of the craziest crashes and yet texas police are acting like it was a parking ticket violation. I'd be in a jail cell right now.

[VincentGordon-evsy]

He could've killed someone and to just walk away

[devildoll]

Football is far more important than public safety in this country. He'll get off with a stern warning.

[charlesan]

Henry Ruggs just went to prison less than a year ago for hitting another car and killing the driver, and Georgia players were racing after winning the national championship just over a year ago which killed everyone in one those cars. What’s up with these players racing?

[Art-Dean]

Racing on crowded freeway, destroying multiple vars, careers and lives!

[LisaMack]

He better get a REAL attorney or he is screwed.

[mayhemmike]

I can't see the state of TEXAS giving him just a slap on the wrist

[davesanchez]

What happens next is throw them in jail!

[shipwreck]

He takes "full responsibility" and intends to "coorporate" but leaves the scene of the crime. I would actually have more respect for him if he just said how he felt instead of using phony language that his lawyer cooked up.

[JohnClever-ezpy]

Luckily for him Texas limits civil liability in lawsuits. As a chiefs fan this is disturbing finding out one of them acted so recklessly.

[alonzoporter]

How many games have players missed over the years?
Some are in prison.
Some have been put out of the league.
Some year.
Some 6 months.
The Chiefs had a guy out last season and I think Clark was out the season before for 6 games each.

[jimmyboudreau]

Needs to be fired . Nothin will happen

[JF-wrlw]

It's about time that arrest warrants were issued! Rice claims that he takes full responsibility only after the fact, him and his drag racing buddies left the scene of the accident without even checking on any damage or injuries that the crash caused. You can take the kid out of the hood, but you cannot take the hood out of the kid!

[stevenboddy]

LOLOL Go figure. Now we gotta hear from him, his family and his lawyer. "oh he's so good, he didnt mean too, he made a mistake, he loves god, oh he's so good he's so sorry" grown men and they ran away.
