Video: What Goes Around Comes Around
This is easily the most random post I’ve ever put on here, but I just couldn’t help myself. I was scouring around YouTube for hockey videos, and I came across this gem. If you don’t believe in karma, you might after you watch this clip. I’m not sure how long ago this happened (somewhere between 1999 and 2004), but it doesn’t really matter. The message is the same now as it was back then — what goes around comes around!
In a linked video on YouTube, Steve Sullivan (the Chicago Blackhawks player featured in the video) asked, “What are the chances?” I really hope some mathematical genius finds this post online and breaks down the numbers for us. Let’s just say we’ll never see something like this happen again (and thank goodness it was caught on tape and posted on YouTube).
In the same interview, Sullivan, who now plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins (he hasn’t played in Chicago since 2004 — hence my earlier timeline), said that it’s common courtesy to not heckle someone when they’re injured. I know hockey players are tough dudes (they’ll take a puck to the face, lose three teeth, get 25 stitches, and jump right back on the ice), but you never kick a man when he’s down — because karma will kick you back.
