What could possibly be wrong with this? lol
I know, I know, it's not their fault. Not possible. They are merely products of the system that made them into dirtbags.
Just wait until this kind of news starts coming out of football.
Guaranteed those coaches are even harder on their players. Some might be looking at charges, I'd say.
Forcing high school or college kids to run until they puke, for example... what could anyone call that other than abuse of power?
Or grabbing kids by the face-mask and hurling them to the ground. Happens all the time. At one time, anyway. Stories are going to emerge.
But regarding Crawford getting a little physical with grown men at the NHL level... give me a break.
How does the degree of physical abuse mean anything here? If you got stabbed, but like in your hand not your heart, it's not real stabbing right? Cause like, look over there, the guy over there is getting stabbed in the heart, so your stabbing in the hand isn't real stabbing.
Sports does have a bit of an asterisk right now, but a coach hitting a player shouldn't be a thing. Really shouldn't even be a question. In my mind at least.
