To me it is sort of like saying "he shouldn't have been in that area at that time".
Maybe it was a bad idea, but the person who shot him is still a murderer. I'm not gonna blame the guy who got shot for being there when that isn't illegal.
It is a slippery slope to blame players with recurring injury.
It was a dirty play, and that is really the issue at hand.
I know you are defending your guy, and I think you are a good fan in general. I'd say you're off on this.
