Stephen Peat used to be the Washington Capitals' enforcer. Then, he pleaded guilty to arson by negligence for burning down his dad's house during a domestic dispute. The two sentences may be related. How? Maybe CTE. Peat took a lot of punches to the head, and now he has memory loss, headaches, inability to hold down a job, violent mood swings... and, again, we ask: Would you let your kid play a sport where head injuries happen?
