Bertuzzi decision

[three dawgs]

Sports IMO has gone too far off the handle. I think that the suspension was fair and more like that should be given. The sports world in a WHOLE should start cracking down on this type of BS. Young kids see this and feel its okay to play that way. What would you do as a parent if YOUR child at the age of 10 was crippled in a game because of a cheap shot? You now have a child at the age of 10 as a parapelegic. Your wholelife changes. What is your reaction going to be?
We can all sit there and say "Yes this has to stop". But where do they start? It would be like the drinking and driving rule. Hey most of us did it as kids. YUP we were stupid. We got away with it. When did they start suspending licenses? In the 80's? Thats not fair is it? But in a WHOLE we are alot happier now that they take the YAHOO off the road for a year. Not that this works all the time. I think it makes everyone look at there actions and the outcomes. The rules have to change and so do the punishments. Yes too bad it was Bertuzzi, could have been McSorley that initially got the punishment like Bert, but nope. They are using Bert as the example and yes it has to start NOW.
This is only my opinion and thats the way I feel.
