When you win a Super Bowl, some fans will love you no matter what, and I mean "no matter what." And that's the case for the former Baltimore Ravens Ray Rice, who was suspended following the revelation of video showing him punching his then-fiancee in the face.

There was outcry around the country; some stores pulled their Ray Rice jerseys. But before the Ravens take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Baltimore Thursday night, one Ravens fan wore his No. 27 jersey in support of Rice.

This isn't the first instance of a Ravens fans supporting Rice either. When Rice was cut from the Ravens earlier this week, fans posted signs outside of the Ravens training facility in support of Rice.

The signs consisted of, "WE LOVE #27″ and "STOP!!! CASTING STONES WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES."

Signs were later removed by the Ravens senior director of security Darren Sanders.

You might remember Ravens fans also cheered Rice the first time he was introduced during a Ravens practice. His wife is also standing by him, and Paul George defended him in a series of Tweets, saying "if she ain't trippin'" he wasn't "trippin" about it either.
