    That seems over-the-top, especially given that we can not be certain that it did or did not happen.

     

    Garrett had no business using his helmet to club Rudolph on the bare head.  The claim of provoked by a racial epithet doesn’t seem to make it better to me - I dunno, but I’d guess that football players say all kinds of trash to each other all the time to try to get under each other’s skin.  I wouldn’t want to play with a man who might be so triggered by the right epithet that he’ll try to kill me with my own helmet.

     

    On the other hand, you’re suggesting that the punishment for perhaps mishearing or misrecalling something (or lying) should be highly extreme.  I don’t really  quite know where to go with this.   If you cast aspersions on my character, do you feel you should be sued, deprived of your livelihood, disavowed by your employer, and destroyed?  Does this apply to any aspersions?  Only vile ones?  How vile do they have to be, and what’s the standard for that?

    I think if you attack him with a football helmet AND and cast aspersions on his character,  you might be sued. And you likely would lose.
