I believe the possibilities are endless, and should be pushed far. The more security the better in cases like these. If people don’t have poor intentions, in this case having weapons on them, they would be allowed in free of burden.

Hello Chase, this is a very significant illegal hit in the history of football. I remember this hit being replayed on the television and posted on social media as a discussion piece. It should not be apart of football and it is sad to see how Antonio Brown turned out.

He bit a chunk of his ear and spit it out, again, boxing is violent. This is too far. This is irrational activity and shouldn’t be the norm. He was disqualified, revoked of his boxing license, and fined over three million dollars.
