Hockey dad neither A nor B

Clearly now and then the law just has to make an example out

    of  someone for the benefit of society. The convicted hockey dad was

    neither a gentle giant nor a brutal killer. A booze soaked brain - even

    from past indulgence - and the manic environment of the sports arena-

    recalling the Mother of all stadiums - the Roman Colosseum - can bring

    out the killer in any red blooded  , all-American dad who sees  HIS

    boy abused.

                  Not for nothing the great Roman philosopher Seneca who

    abhorred THE GAMES wrote a long essay - still worth studying: " On Anger ".

              Perhaps a compulsory course in human anatomy might make even

    the dumbest sports fans a little less quick with their fists.

                  It took billions of years for the human brain to evolve.

    It takes just a few seconds to destroy it.

                   Even if you just punch a guy in the chest, a  sharp

    little bone called the Xiphoid process could puncture the heart. I

    learned that a long time ago in a  CNA class.

                    May cooler tempers prevail in sports and in the REAL
    world.
