#mentioning ‘the stuff tom wilson and ryan reaves do would never fly in rugby’ made sense

Someone really had this whole big thing about how cizikas likely accidentally laid an illegal hit and should be the last person held accountable etc etc bc of their experience with rugby
And I was happy with their explanation
And then guess what they ended it with. Guess.
“And anyway your team has Brad Marchand!” (paraphrased)
Are you actually fucking kidding me. You just went on a whole thing about how bringing something up just because your team is losing is bad, which is true!!! It was awful and fucked up!!!!!!! And you talk about how no matter what your intent was, the way you phrase it can be kinda sus. And then you end. On that. You end by basically saying “well at least our player didn’t k*ll on purpose!”. After all the discussion of how intent doesn’t matter when you bring up something like this, THATS how you choose to end the post. Genuinely how fucking dare you.
I want to make it VERY CLEAR: bringing up this incident was extremely fucked up and the timing definitely made it seem “gotcha”, I am not on the OPs side AT ALL, it was awful of them. I also don’t think Cizikas is at all to blame. But why in the hell did you decide that ending this with ANOTHER “gotcha” was a good fucking idea. As though a player who sometimes lays dirty hits (that rarely ever injure bc he understands his own strength and how to use it) is anywhere NEAR comparable to someone DYING from injury. If you think adding a dig at brad marchand at the end of a post where you talk about a very sensitive situation involving a CHILDS DEATH is appropriate, please block me right now. You ask others to have empathy and humanity in a serious situation and then in the same paragraph decide to go after someone in an awful way just because you don’t like their hockey.
