I heartily agree with Rice's removal. I am against violence against women, children and men of any kind. That being said I am wondering if the governing body of a business has the obligation/jurisdiction to discipline its employees for such transgressions. as far as I know the NBA/MLB/NHL or for that matter Walmart have no such policies. I know that some NFL employees ( and that is what they are) have a propensity for violent behavior, but other employers do too ( though not as much and very less publicized).
Perhaps all sports organizations can learn from this and initiate their own policies. I'm not sure if private employers ( Google et al) would develop a policy. Just thinking out loud.
