[QUOTE="SyX, post: 438770, member: 3636"] Past this, I'm not going to further argue this with you as you have your opinion and I have mine. I don't see how it is all that much different. She knew her best chance at success was through injuring Kerrigan. She didn't exactly have the chance to deliver that blow on the field of competition, now did she? Last I watched, figure skating wasn't a contact sport, nor one of simultaneous head to head competition. I'll acknowledge, while it is natural to try to gain an advantage, sometimes by keying on an injury, these players were encouraged to [U][I]create[/I][/U] injuries, and rewarded for doing so. I do not argue that it has, is, and probably will continue to happen. I do not argue that if it were between players, the punishment would have been different. I also do not understand where anyone would come off saying because it happened in the past, we should turn a blind eye. Players now are bigger, stronger, faster. Fields are not the same as they used to be. Yes, teams in the '80s and '90's had bounties. At one point, players in the NFL didn't wear helmets. Player safety and the focus on quality of life have evolved. I had my leg severely broken, my ACL, MCL, PCL and LCL torn by the brother of the QB who backed me up in high school. In practice. I know it happens. I also know how it can affect the rest of your life. I hope that the punishments handed out today will, to some level, curb the activity. [/QUOTE]
