There are a number of reasons that the two situations are different. First, Solo's case is still pending, and the facts of the case have not been vetted. Secondly, the degree of brutality of Rice's punches is probably much more horrific than whatever happened during Solo's altercation. Tony Stewart Retired After Killing Kevin Ward?

With Ward dead, the whole NASCAR community is obviously still saddened by the tragic loss.
