First off, this totally sucks and I hope they are okay. Second, what the hell kind of club was this and was PacMan Jones there? If this club has a rep for being a place where things like this occur or caters to a crowd known for this behavior, these athletes made a poor decision to be there in the first place. JMO.
I did not see where they started or were responsible for the brawl taking place so no judgement passed on that. I hope they are going to be just fine. Then get an *** chewing for making dumb decisions.
The "club", if you can call it that, has a reputation for being a bad place. I'm glad they are going to be okay, but they were not too bright for being there. A friend of mine works at that ER and he said they were pretty nasty cuts.
That place was never a 'nice' place and used to feature the after-hours wet T contests and such back in the day. Although take my opinion at face value, because the last time I was in that place - Reagan was in office, Johnny Carson was still doing the Tonight Show and I was skinny, all of which are in the dimly lit corridors of my distant memory.
