“CBS Sports pulled Rihanna’s intro to Thursday night’s NFL game between the Ravens and the Steelers following the release of video showing Ravens running back Ray Rice beating then-fiancée Janay Palmer in an Atlantic City casino elevator.

CBS said it pulled the intro last Thursday to maintain an “appropriate tone,” as Rihanna was beaten by then-boyfriend Chris Brown several years ago in another high-profile instance of domestic violence.”
