This comes up every once in a while, and the general consensus in Canadian law (please note: I'm not a lawyer) is that you consent to a certain level of violence when you play a sport.

If somebody does something that is waaaaaay outside of the general norms of the sport, criminal charges can be laid.

Bertuzzi was charged with criminal assault causing bodily harm (he pleaded guilty - 1 year probation and 80 hours of community service).

McSorley: assault with a weapon. 18 months probation.

Dino Ciccarelli trying to decapitate Luke Richardson with his stick: assault. $1000 fine and one day in jail.

I don't really see the licking as crossing this threshold.

Once again, I'm not a lawyer.

in 2018, nothing surprises me anymore AW

with that being said, im not actually bent out of shape over the lick.

but seriously, who licks another man's face in a pro sport? Whats next, jock grabbing off the draw?

Ah poor wedge. Have I stolen too much of your boring ass non-leaf related story telling thunder?




Maybe I'll leave and come back as Nuclear Wedgina. Just for you.


You need to try the Boston pancake. Now that, that would suit you quite well.

I don't know what that is, and I'm too scared to google it from my work computer.

P.S. Rhode Island clam chowder > Boston clam chowder.

That's what I keep telling my friend but it's hard cheering for them when I want them to lose at the same time #firstworldproblems

Jays are 12-5

If a tree falls in the forest, assaulting someone, and there's no one there to see it, did it really assault someone?

It's a long season.

The last time they started like this they ended the season 75-87. We'll know if they're for real if they have anything close to their starting record in July.

Stop with your riddles...

Also, just to be civil, please do not google that at work

Wait until your home and can watch some videos

I only want them to split with the yanks and red sox. I want the Jays to keep having series wins against the lesser teams. They should remain competitive if they do.

Trees assault people all the time and nobody does a damn thing about it.

First time I ever visiting Newport: we did the Cliff Walk, toured the Breakers, went to the beach. Gorgeous day, but not too hot.

Then we had dinner on the water - and I tried Newport clam chowder.

It was a pretty franking awesome day.

I made a bet on the under. A legit bet... It's still early but it sucks when I'm tossing money away

You're a disgusting human, I hope you enjoy your ban...

Fans always damper things, it's pretty annoying.

They have had a great start, a hell lot better than starting horrible. Time will tell if they can keep it up. Any indication of the first 20 games is they can
