<< " There is an inherent consent to violence when you lace on
those skates. " Do you agree? >>
No. There is a consent to sportsmanship, in a game that inlcudes something
known as checking, but I don't believe that a good check should be considered
violence. Going overboard, as this young man clearly did, does not (or at
least should not) have anyone's "consent." That's just stupidity.
