Monday, Raven's running back, Ray Rice was fired from the NFL team after raw footage him punching his wife, Janay Palmer in the face went viral. February 15, the couple got into an altercation in a Revel Hotel elevator in Atlantic City where the Baltimore Ravens punched his fiancé in the face knocking her out cold.

The Baltimore Ravens franchise tweeted Monday, "The #Ravens have terminated RB Ray Rice's contract this afternoon."

The NFL said Monday, "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."

In the clip, the elevator door closes and Ray shoves Janay, in which Janay strikes back while walking into a close fist to the face- knocking her out. As the door opens, the football star tries to bring Janay back to consciousness and drags her out of the elevator.

According to TMZ, actor Seth Rogen said the athlete should be kicked out of the NFL for the abuse, "I don't know much about football, but I know that Ray Rice is a piece of garbage who shouldn't be allowed to play it professionally anymore."

Well, the Twittersphere are reacting to the termination and overall some are reacting towards their Fantasy Football League that may be in shambles after the firing.

@MarlonWayans  tweeted, "There's a lot of people saying "damn, now how does this @RayRice27 decision affect my fantasy football league" #olshallowasspeople."

@NobodyEpic  tweeted, "Ray Rice has simultaneously been released from the Ravens and Fantasy Football teams around the country. More drops than a Skrillex track."
