Ted Fleming over at Tampa Bay Sports Net chimes in on the Bertuzzi vs. Moore incident and the ensuing media backlash. His logic about the violence in American sports and the hypocritical condemnation of Hockey for it’s violence is on the he right track…
The media is overplaying the incident in a character assassination much like other character assassinations they have performed in the past (Howard Dean’s “Yell” clip being replayed over and over again), but it’s not Bertuzzi’s character that is being dealt a blow. It’s the entire league that’s taking a fall because of it.
