I remember in 2011 the NHL lost 3 enforcers in a row. Rypien and
Belak(Suicides) and Boogard (Brain Damage). A few former enforcers went public
to decry fighting in the NHL. Don Cherry called them Hypocrites and told them
to shut up. Cherry has said a lot of stupid shit in the past but this really
took the cake. These were the guys who had been in the role. Why would we not
listen to them?
Brandon and Lacy's articles are an attempt to raise awareness. The choice to
compete is the riders alone but starting the conversation will help them make
more informed choices. If enough riders do the math and start taking a pass on
Rampage, then Rampage may have to address things like lines and insurance to
get them back. To me, this would only result in a better more respectable
event.
I'd like to take this opportunity to self identify as a 9-5 bitch. While I
respect the skill and hard work that goes into being a pro, I get a hell of a
lot out of riding with my wheels on the ground and without the knowledge that
a big cooperation is using me to promote a drink.
Romo, congratulations on being better than me.
