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.
