Indeed. I'm looking at the tweet history and it's full of hateful rhetoric. Not saying a racist can't be right about a thing or two, I'm not putting myself in a position to cosign a racist account.
Matt Petgrave given standing ovation by Sheffield Steelers fans
It came as the Steelers returned to the ice for their first home game since Johnson tragically passed away, after Petgrave's skate had fatally cut his opponents neck during their Challenge Cup tie.
Slit my brothers wrist in grade school when he fell in front of me and I lost my edge trying to stop. Purple tinted blood everywhere!
Good and he should be charged with murder cause that's what it was.

There isn't a rule about skate height it's just expected that you would never do some shit like that, people get upended all the fucking time during hip-checks and skates can easily swing out higher than head height when you're somersaulting through the air. This definitely murder 1
Oh that's why.
I'm surprised there aren't more major injuries in the sport. The speed, collisions, etc.
I had a few friends in grade school (pre-teen years) who played competitively for years. They were always exhausted because of the early-morning hours on weekdays.
