Any contact sport has plays where others suffer brain damage at times in a game that is being played for entertainment purposes. Right? So I cannot understand how he can make that post while being a hockey fan. I actually was the one who suggested eliminating the big body checks so not sure how that does not work with decreasing the risks.

Those examples are two of the most disgusting plays in hockey and also have no place in the game. The turning point for me was watching Dion nearly kill Okposo in a frickin preseason game. I hate those hits as much or more than fighting but doesn't mean I'll stop watching because I love the game even though I hate parts of it.
