If anyone has ever watched MMA they should know that concussed people attack the referee literally on a regular basis
Didn’t they also seize his phone and go through his texts? How is he not suing THEM?

Also why on earth would he attack a LINESMAN of all people
Joe blow would saw a looped clip thinks he lost his #### of the ref after a bad call or something. It wasn't even a heated game at the time or anything.
Then there is the fact the DW and the linesman shared a laugh about it a few mins later (saw it with my own eyes) and the linesman dropped the puck and continued the game. After the social media firestorm he was suddenly injured for life. Yes I know these things can come on later...just seems convenient for a guy that they were trying to "retire" ASAP by all accounts.
Bottom line it wasn't on purpose...what is the motive?
