Rudolph: ‘I should have done a better job’

[thesteelcity]

I knew the race issue was coming as soon as I watched some of the players defending Garrett and his horrific actions. There is no justification for hitting someone in the head with a helmet. I don't care what color you are. But that's the way things are today.

absolutely. If he turned that helmet slightly to the crown part, we are having a very different discussion right now about MR health.

When are the refs going to apologize for their incompetence week in and week out. Also, if they had done their job and ejected some of these asshats for targeting maybe it doesn't get to the point it did, but half the time these douchebags didn't even throw a flag on the helmet to helmets until after the fact. The officiating, cheating (different rules for different teams) and the social justice bulshit is making the NFL an unwatchable soap opera.

Regarding the racisms - The good news is, Colin Kaepernik wore a Kunta Kinte shirt to his workout!

I felt as though my entire view of the situation changed instantly. I was like, "Oh... Ya!"

So here is tge thing about the IDIOTS who think mason should be fined or suspended... every single game has chippy post play moments.. at least one or two... often players get shoved, grabbed, facewashed... sometimes even kicked or open-hand smacked... as long as a fist isn’t used its often let go with nothing called... if it gets bad a fifteen yard personal foul is called... or unsportsmanlike conduct...when was the last time anyone was fined or suspended for that... never?

Now the escalation is what drew the suspensions... and the ultimate act was disgusting... but its like you get cut off so you angrily honk and roll down your window to shout at the guy... then he wrecks into you, pulls you out of your car and beats you with your steering wheel...
were you 100% in the right? No, but that dude belongs in jail, you just need a lecture on not shouting at morons...

Garrett used a blunt object in a "fist fight". That same person had their full armor on and went after someone with no head gear or weapon. Whomever don't see that as a problem needs their head examined.

This, and you made a good point about him being lucky that it wasn't a different part of the helmet that hit Rudolph, otherwise he might be looking at some serious criminal charges.
