Ravens fans sport Ray Rice jerseys to Thursday night’s game

Numerous fans wore Ray Rice jerseys Thursday night as they made their way into M&T Bank Stadium, where the Baltimore Ravens were set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Some of the fans interviewed by media said they were not going to get rid of their Rice jersey because they supported him and would continue to show their support.

Thursday marks the first game since Rice was cut by the team and suspended indefinitely from the league after a video of him knocking out his now-wife in an elevator was posted online.

The Ravens have offered fans the opportunity to trade their Rice jerseys in for another team member. Local businesses are offering services in exchange for Rice’s jersey so they could be destroyed.
