I've wondered about that my entire life...

you see activies in sports that would not be condoned in other settings but because it's professional sports is a boys will be boys attitude. It does seem to be kinda understood that its a law of the jungle on a sports field to some extent but yeah there certainly should be a limit to that.

Should there ever be criminal charges for actions in a sanctioned sports -- Late 80s Hokie 11/15/2018 08:53AM

This one should . . . -- MikeVT85 11/15/2018 7:11PM

I'm aware of one incident that went to court with criminal charges ... -- BusLoadaBozos 11/15/2018 11:46AM

Played in a rec league where there were some similar blatant fouls. -- Hokie360 11/15/2018 09:45AM

I would think if it was not a move related to the sport/play, charge-em. ** -- HokieSignGuy 11/15/2018 09:40AM

Of course. It's a basketball game, not a gladiator match. ** -- HWA 11/15/2018 09:40AM

I would never say never, but it would be a rare situation in my mind -- Vienna_Hokie 11/15/2018 09:36AM

There have been NHL players charged criminally. Everybody makes mistakes. -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 09:10AM

I've wondered about that my entire life... -- `lag 11/15/2018 09:09AM

Yes and the penalty should be severe for this POS. imo ** -- santafe 11/15/2018 09:06AM

You’re making a judgement about another human being based on a 10 sec vid -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 09:12AM

If your worst 10 secs involve intentionally injuring someone for no reason -- RhinoVT 11/15/2018 09:18AM

See my response to santefe. ** -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 09:26AM

Yes I did. That 10 second video is pretty damning, unless -- santafe 11/15/2018 09:18AM

I’m not trying to justify his actions. They were terrible. ** -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 09:26AM

Didn't mean to imply that you were trying to justify his actions. -- santafe 11/15/2018 09:32AM

You continue to miss my point. I view the incident the same as you. It was -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 09:39AM

Understood. I guess we do look at it the same :). -- santafe 11/15/2018 09:43AM

No worries. This place needs more civil disagreement, not less. ** -- CPRVHokie 11/15/2018 10:04AM

Should there be? Absolutely. ** -- 81_Hokie 11/15/2018 09:04AM

Yes. and the player got kicked out of school. (Good for the school). -- 48zip 11/15/2018 08:56AM
