Whether or not a man in another line of work would have such brain damage is irrelevant to what I'm saying.
The point still remains that people are quick to defend him based on their opinion of him as a performer, and would not offer the same support to others guilty of the same crimes.
As for the injuries, they are the unfortunate result of an industry that was irresponsible and dangerous. This is not exclusive to wrestling, however. Concussion related illness runs rampant in professional sports as well.
There are other ways to recieve brain damage. The point still remains that people aren't calling in these factors to clear the name of random murderers.
I'm sure someone killed their wife and kid today. I bet they even had a history of brain damage too. If they wrestled more 5 star matches, would they be more deserving of understanding?
