I've played American Football and Rugby for more than 10 years, I know about hitting people who've put themselves into a vulnerable position. I also understand that there is a difference between hitting someone because it's a part of the game and hitting someone to end their season, regardless of the hit falling within the rules of fair play. You don't seem to think that distinction exists, which is fine, but I do. You aren't going to change my mind on that and I've said my peace about where I think that hit falls.
I'm willing to concede that Sutton may not have been able to prevent coming up the way that he did, I don't understand how being on skates changes the mechanics of hitting. My suspicion is it's not as much as you would have me believe, but I'm willing to concede judgement having never been on skates.
