The mini Ray Rice controversy -- and by that I mean the controversy is mini, not Rice -- has taken the spotlight off of the alleged spitting incident Sunday involving Ravens fullback Le'Ron McClain.
As I wrote Monday, the video of McClain's altercation with Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder doesn't look good for McClain, but there isn't indisputable evidence that spit happened.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio feels that "the video indicates spitting," and he was able to get an official response on the matter from Ravens senior vice president of public and community relations Kevin Byrne, something that I thought was worth passing along.
Here is what Byrne told Pro Football Talk in his email:
So there you go. I want to know if your stance on McClain has changed over the past couple of days knowing what we know now about the incident. Do you think McClain was guilty of spitting?
