Whoever put together the highlight film for Russell vs. Pulaski should be ashamed. You show only two hits and the first one was an illegal hit to the head where the defender was penalized. If this were the NFL the Russell player would have been fined and maybe suspended.

To glorify this kind of dangerous hit is just an encouragement for these impressionable young men to do more of the same. "If you want to make the highlight reel, you gotta go headhunting." That's the message this video sends.

Everybody likes to see good aggressive play and solid hits, but no one wants to see a kid get crippled. Would you have posted this video if the Pulaski kid were in a wheelchair right now?

To celebrate this kind of thing just makes it more likely that a serious injury could occur. God forbid, but the next kid to end up in a wheelchair could be a Laker.

Whoever posted this video should take it down. It has no place here.
