Since the kneeling business started, I’ve taken to watching English/European pro rugby a game very like football but played without helmets or padding. At the pro level they take even the chance of concussion quite seriously. The ref even doing a video replay to determine if there’s been contact to the head.

If it is suspected, the player is taken off the field for a “head-injury assessment” by a doctor. He gets no say in the matter. If he passes the HIA he can return to play after 10 minutes. If he doesn’t he sits out the game.

Deliberate hitting of the head will earn a player a ‘red card’ which results in ejection (and the team plays the rest of the game short a man).

Yeah but I doubt it caused him to do this.

Like most kids I suffered concussions as a child and I never had any desire to kill doctors and their families. Turn a couple of them upside down and shake until answers fell out, yes, but not kill them.

Murder suicides are generally people who are upset that there are happy normal people in the world. And they must be punished.
