Violence in pro sports.

I haven't seen it yet either but if it was as you all described, he should be banned for life and definitely prosecuted to the max!!! I agree, two hockey players fighting one on one is their choice and usually doesn't end in too many serious injuries. Apparently this guy never even saw it coming.

I'm a big hockey fan, I love to see a fair fight within the context of a hard fought game but from all accounts this was just ugly and cowardly.

I find it hard to believe that Bertuzzi would do something that low but if he did he may not get a chance to play again and he'd deserve it.

Betruzzi lost his cool, moore wouldn't fight him so he got fustraighted and drilled him from behind, the devastation wasen't so much the punch because he had his glove on he did hit him in the side of the head, but he hit his helmit, the real damage occured after he hit him he used his momentum to drive his head forward into the ice as they fell, that's where the real damage took place, If he didn't do that moore probably skates off under his own power and betruzzi is playing again sometime this year. As it stand's now betruzzi has a real problem in hockey and possibly with the law as well.

Other atheltes have been prosecuted - and found guilty - for in-game violence. The most recent one I can recall was Marty McSorley in the NHL for his use of the stick to the back of Donald Brashear's head.

A baseball player was found guilty of throwing a ball at - and killing - an osprey during spring training last year. Can't remember his name...
