Ray Rice for free pizza? Turning your unwanted Rice jersey into free food

Some Baltimore Ravens fans may be looking for ways to dispose of their unwanted Ray Rice jerseys after TMZ posted a video of the running back striking his then-fiancee in February. The team finally let him go Monday and the NFL suspended him indefinitely.

Baltimore fans are having their say, too. Instead of simply tossing his souvenir jerseys in the garbage, a few Baltimore restaurants are encouraging people to bring in their jerseys for free food, reported USA Today.

Hersh’s Pizza and Drinks is offering free pizza for anyone who brings in a Rice jersey.

“Dear Lovers of Women, Not Hitting Women, Non Violence and Just Generally Being a Good Person, come trade your Ray Rice Ravens Jersey in for a free pizza at Hersh’s,” the restaurant wrote on its Facebook page. “Suggestions for what to do with all the Ray Rice jerseys we collect, since there are only so many we can use for toilet paper?”

The restaurant has also said that for every jersey it receives, a $2.70 donation will be made to the House Of Ruth Maryland, a nonprofit organization that helps victims of domestic violence. Rice’s jersey number was 27.

No Idea Tavern, also in Baltimore, tweeted that it would give everyone who brings in a jersey a $10 bar credit, as well as donate $2.70 to the nonprofit.
