False, he is the nicest reindeer we know. He would not start a rumble.

I just rewatched that brawl the difference was

Terrible logic. So it’s assault if the guy being attacked isn’t wearing a helmet

chitownboy

11/15/19 5:57am

Umm, yes?

Heath Squashwell

Again terrible take. You can do some bad damage with a helmet no matter what

chitownboy

11/15/19 6:36am

Punching someone with and without a helmet on is a big difference.

SlantRoute

11/15/19 7:08am

Never said there wasn’t a difference with or without a helmet

chitownboy

11/15/19 7:44am

I don’t think anyone is justifying violent behavior

Heath Squashwell

So if a guy uses his body as a missle and makes direct

So if a baseball player throws a 100 mph fastball and plunks someone it's not

All I'm saying is that assault is not judged merely on "if" the punch lands.....

I'd say if it can be proven the pitcher intentionally hits the batter then he...

11/15/19 10:52am

While I mostly agree with you why is there no outrage then when pitchers hit

chitownboy

11/15/19 10:57am

Yes, I totally agree that "many" times a pitcher intentionally beans a batter...

BleedCougarBlue2

11/15/19 12:13pm

Okay I agree but why the amount of outrage now

chitownboy

11/15/19 1:12pm

Why the outrage now? I guess because it was so flagrant and so visible.

One can kill you and the other can give you a concussion. Important difference.

Yeah looked like Rudolph almost died from that hit. Cmon

chitownboy

11/15/19 8:33am

*can* kill you. You're being deliberately dense. There's a reason everyone disag

vagabonder

Huh. Everyone disagrees with me. Look through the threads.

chitownboy

Concussions can kill you

Gee, I guess the blood all over Nacua's face meant nothing?

Memphis University's administration made a public apology to BYU, but BYU...

This is what started the brawl. They hanged up and pummeled him

travelcoug

Four guys holding a dude and one swinging away with a weapon. Yea there should

travelcoug

11/15/19 10:05am

Good. It was their fault.

I don't think this is accurate. Paxton Lynch had a great apology though...

So you’re older than five years old?
