That was a wild ending, but calling for Assault charges? Both players, Garret and Rudolph should be suspended and fined and made to make this situation right in every way, but charges of Assault are not it. JMHO
What in your eyes makes it not an assault?
This is a highly aggressive sport. If you start filing criminal charges for things that happen during the event on the field of play during intense moments like this it will ruin the sport as a whole. There is a lot of things that happened during this event. I’m not condoning anything by either of these two knuckle heads. The league has things set in place to handle these types of situations and that’s where it should stay.
I agree up to the point people start using weapons on the field.
We’ve all seen fights and scuffles on the field, and it’s definitely a bad look.
The sport doesn’t need that but this was a different level.
This was IMHO, absolutely assault with a weapon.
That same action in a dark alley or parking lot would allow the use of deadly force in many states.
Yes it was on a football field not on the streets but the playing field doesn’t lessen the action.
I don’t believe filing charges for something like this would ruin the sport, I think things like this ruin the sport.
Edit:
And no, I’m not suggesting that Garrett is the only one that should be disciplined.
