Re: Why aren't professional athletes criminally liable for intentionally hurting another player

I think a college pitcher who was a top prospect got brought up on charges for beaning somebody in the on-deck circle timing his pitches. I absolutely know there was a civil suit winner but can't remember for sure if criminal charges happened. Guy got drafted by the Cubs in an early round iirc but never really panned out.

Notice how they're all in a real man's sport? Hockey is by far the hardest and toughest sport to play. The Stanley Cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports hands down.

Hockey is dumb.

Grown men shouldn't ice skate.

Re: Why aren't professional athletes criminally liable for intentionally hurting another player

Remember rudy tomjanovich? kermit the frog should have done some hard time for that mugging.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_Tomjanovich
The Kermit Washington incident

Despite Tomjanovich's noteworthy career as a player, he is perhaps best remembered for an infamous occurrence at the height of his playing career. In a December 9, 1977, game, the Los Angeles Lakers' Kermit Washington threw a punch during an on-court melee that struck Tomjanovich. The blow shattered Tomjanovich's jaw and face and inflicted life-threatening head injuries, leaving him sidelined for five months. He eventually made a full recovery, but his playing career slowly came to a halt and he was forced to retire in his mid 30s. The story and aftermath are recounted in the John Feinstein book The Punch: One Night, Two Lives, and the Fight That Changed Basketball Forever.
