hockey is monstrous

yo there can not be fighting in hockey anymore. that stuff is despicable. i just read the series of articles on derek boogaard, a guy whose job was to fight people on the opposing team. it's absolutely criminal to be sending people out to do that every night, or even every ten nights. the descriptions of that man's hands are horrifying. and his brain had brown spots on it. something called CTE had set in, which basically means that when a doctor asked him to list words he could think of starting with "r" he couldn't think of any. there were brown spots all over his brain.

he was 6'7 and 250 pounds and his career was set in motion after he beat up some kids when he was 15. the guy could hardly skate.
