NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A twitter hashtag intended to get Ray Rice signed to an NFL team this season was launched today.
The hashtag #RayRice2ndChance is accompanied by a logo made of emojis bearing Rice’s signature bicep flex and two hands clapping.
The logo might be seen as in poor taste considering that Rice has been persona-non-grate in the NFL every since video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiance, now-wife Janay Rice and knocking her unconscious in an Atlantic City elevator.
Even a year later, NFL teams have shied away from Rice, concerned about the backlash should they sign Rice who was, at one time, on his way to an NFL Hall of Fame career with the Baltimore Ravens.
With just two tweets as of this morning, the hashtag is not getting much love on Twitter just yet. Let’s see where this goes.
