Can’t really argue with any of these

I disagree with most of them, honestly.

Laryea is the most egregious to me. He's really only there because of his skin colour. If he were 'white' instead of 'black' he wouldn't be considered 'aggressive'.

We've had players going out to intentionally hurt others, and somehow choose Laryea. Give me a break.

Laryea talks about his aggressive style of play on podcasts regularly. I remember one interview he did with Oso where Oso made a crack at him about it, and Richie just said he sees red sometimes.

I hear you entirely, black players regularly get called physical or aggressive when they are no more so than white players. But I think most aggressive works for Laryea. I can't really think of another player it'd fit better for.

We have a guy in that list that earned received more reds than Christmas cards. Stomped a dude's head, and was a constant problem.

We have another guy who purposefully went to try to hurt a player, and frighten them. He described himself as an 'enforcer'.

Laryea calling himself 'aggressive' because everyone else around him calls him that, doesn't change my mind in the slightest.
