Nick Maldonado MWF 9-9:50 Not Just A Game HOCKEY PLAYERS: The cockiest, dirtiest, most irresponsible group of athletes in the world. Live the dream until they are 35 then realize they never made it. Ladies love us, and guys want to be us. You lace up the skates, put on the gloves, strap on the helmet, and walk on to the ice. It doesn't matter that you failed a test, didn't get the girl of your dream, or that your life is on a one way trip down the shitter, because your world is right for the next couple hours.
The media, politicians, advocacy groups as well as the FBI are steadfast in claiming that the only rational explanation is that of the individuals falling prey to the aggression inciting video game. In short, the violent video game made them do it.
