re: Where do I sign the petition to permanently ban Myles Garrett

So, to be totally clear, you want anyone that throws a punch or gets in a tussle (in football, basketball, baseball, etc) to be prosecuted?

Your reading teachers failed you.

So then what imaginary line has to be crossed in order for an offense to be prosecutable?

When another human being's life is in jeopardy of being permanently altered or even ended from blunt force trauma to the head from a weapon that was forcibly removed from him seems like it's well within those borders.

Then again I'm talking to a guy that equates bare-fisted fights on skates with what happened last night.

Nothing's going to happen to him in that regard. The league will make sure of that. Doesn't mean it shouldn't.

From the NFL?
Why was he not immediately fired and charged?

the typical line is based in relation to the game itself

And do you think that it could be argued, if a prosecutor were so inclined, that many punches/fights are outside of "the game itself"?

I feel like this is a Pandoras box that we really should not open

But it was attempted murder!!!!!!

Its always wild when stuff like this happens cause it makes you remember how lowkey racist people are

Another shite comment, and this time an actual Ghey aTm fan with the take.


SHOCKER!!!!!!!!!

Understand what youre saying but its in hindsight. When does intent come into play? With all the rage about concussions and long term effects of head injuries, isnt this essentially spitting in the face of those on that soapbox? What if Rudolph were seriously injured? What punishment would you guys be calling for then? Im guessing a lot of the dissenters in this thread would sing a different tune. Intent(real or percieved) matters, in football and law.
As far as punishment, huge fine and long suspension. Whats the length of games for something like Josh Gordons substance abuse history? Id rather my football players be fricked up or juicing before bashing each other with helmets on helmetless heads

Arguing against the intent is silly.

i'm not

i said suspend him for the rest of the year

for a first offense that's an insane suspension
