And through trying to have that discussion posters are trying to snuff out brain injuries before they start. Supporting current and future players of the team and sport that you love should involve protecting them whenever possible from having their brains jumbled because of unnecessary injuries related to fighting.
I get it, McGrattan is an inspirational story through overcoming his demons and is from all accounts a stand-up guy, that's great. That being said, the main discussion regarding a former enforcer who is currently playing for a different organization in a different league is always going to focus on his role in the sport. Frankly, if you ignore it and instead choose to put your head in the sand you aren't doing anyone any favours.
Edit: I also don't think that a majority of people would miss fighting.
