Is it ever OK

[Grey Goose]

Shooting point blank = ok.

Shooting point blank in the mask = bad. bad. bad.

Fighting on the field = bad. Do it in the parking lot.


I personally was shot legitimately at point blank range in the mask. There was actually a thread on the old forum about it. Anywho, long story short: my NEW (first time using it) DYE Invision actually let the ball through the mask at the goggle/lens seam at the cheek bone.

That shot literally staggered me and gave me a black eye.

So, lets's just say point blank mask shots are a bad idea because you never, never know what kind of equipment "malfunctions" may occur.

What this comes down to is that I feel what happened is one of the worst things that can happen on the field.. It's right there with putting your hands on someone.


I did not post here looking for answers I posted for opinions, and granted I definately got some.

Some of the details are shady and to be honest there are members of my team that have dismissed the whole thing by saying "he had it coming"......

"And yeah, if you really need help figuring the situation out then I consider you just as much of a hazard to those around you as your 'Award Winning' compadres".

As was mentioned above: prior friendships have made aspects of this situation more difficult. This is not a team or a person that I can just be cut and dry about; however I have let some time pass and no matter if some have let it go, I can't.

So there it is. I posted the question because obviously some can or will, try to justify such a thing.
