    So you think athletes’ careers are worth more than the average person’s life. That’s pretty fucked up.

      Not exactly more than an average person’s life.

      First, again, tasers aren’t always deadly. In the vast majority of cases, they aren’t. I agree we should move towards solutions with 0% fatality, or change tasers to be more towards 0%, but I’m no taser expert.

      Secondly, I don’t just mean the athletes career. What I meant by “their career” is their body. Crazy people can hurt the athletes, badly. I’d much rather have one drunk fan being tased than a world athlete being handicapped. And I don’t think that’s so fucked up.
