Fred Savage? He’s a TV director. Seems like he’s doing pretty well.

Sexual assault? It qualifies by any reasonable definition of the term but hitting someone in the nuts seems more like regular assault. And for good or ill, a lot of stuff happens in sports that would be considered assault in any other context. If you chase someone down while hitting them with a stick it’s definitely assault, unless you’re playing lacrosse. Then it’s a legal move. Rugby is a riot over someone trying to steal a ball. And then there’s boxing.
No one is claiming that Vinnie Jones wasn’t a serious asshole on the field. He was a goon. That’s part of sports. It’s not a good part, but here we are.

He wasn’t exactly a celebrity then, at least not on his current level. At the time he was a footballer who was known as a “hard man”, meaning he played dirty.

Don’t worry, they’ll do a new version of Jersey Shore any time now. They just need to figure out how to dumb it down.
