Without re-hashing everything we've done before concerning your certain assertions based
on transcripts of what happened Bettman's summary of what happened (dr's are biased but Bettman isn't?)...there simply isn't a point if it is your opinion that he 'attacked' Henderson, as we're simply not discussing on the same plane. I can certainly appreciate how that can be the knee-jerk reaction from seeing the GIF once or twice, but I think the malicious intent argument is the least likely.
You love to rail on skeptically about Wideman's description of symptoms worsening over the days after the incident...Henderson finished the game and has subsequently had significant medical issues since. Where's your skepticism there? You may argue that Wideman had incentive to exaggerate and Henderson did not...but you'd be ignoring the possibility of a WCB type situation for a guy that might have been forced to hang them up against his will soon anyways. I am in know way suggesting that's the case, but IMO it might be equally plausible.
Also, Wideman's texts don't look great, but they aren't a smoking gun either. They were true...simply bad optics.
