Charged criminally?
LOL!

I like keeping him off the field for the remainder of the season.
OK to discuss some time next year, but probably not necessary.

But criminal?


Frank mentioned hockey. But look at baseball.
Dude throwing 100 mph hard ball at you? Lock him up!!


We can't pick and choose when we need law enforcement in sports because it hurts our sensibilities.

Hit dude with empty helmet? Arrest him!
Run head first at full speed wearing a helmet? let the league handle it.

Me?
I'd rather take the hit Rudolf received then be on the receiving end of a human battering ram to my noggin.

No contest.

Throwing a baseball is part of the game of baseball, Joe. Swinging a helmet at another guy is not part of football.

I like that the kid did not want the law involved, and I like that the law said (basically) no complainant, no crime... but rest assured, that met all the elements of aggravated assault and battery.

Not part of the game.
