With the Combine, free agency, the schedule release and offseason team activities, the NFL has done an excellent job of keeping fans interested in the league year-round.
But sometimes the NFL makes news for the wrong reasons, and that was the case Tuesday with Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice.
Dallas police said Rice violated terms of his probation following a multi-vehicle crash in March 2024. A judge ordered Rice to serve a 30-day jail sentence, and he won’t be released until after the team’s mandatory minicamp ends in June.
That news comes months after the ugly allegations of abuse by the mother of Rice’s children.
Many Chiefs fans have had enough, and judging by the comments made on social media, Rice will have to work hard to regain their support.
“We have a quarterback who is doing everything he can to get back on the field in record time after a catastrophic knee injury, and his #1 WR is doing everything he can to stay off the field,” a fan named Josh Chavis wrote on X. “Pat deserves much better than Rashee Rice. Sorry, not sorry.”
On Facebook a fan named Bill Berry wrote: “Send him packing. Enough is finally too much @!!@”
On Reddit, a fan shared this: “The sight of him and his bros walking past the car crash they’d just caused without bothering to check on their victims is the image that always comes to mind when I hear his name.”
A fan named Matthew said on X: “Just another example of him proving he can’t be trusted. Like it’s not that big of a deal but at the same time it’s a huge deal.”
On Reddit a fan wrote: “I’ll be happy to be rid of this perpetual headache. How is it so hard to just stay out of trouble? Especially in a contract year! What a complete moron!”
Here is a bit more of what fans were saying on social media.
