JK + 0 – The NHC, the suspension, the reinstatement, and the decision to never play again…
I waited 2 years to say a lot of this….
What actually happened when I was DQ’d from the NHC, my thoughts about the 2 year suspension, how I feel about the NHC, and my decision, despite my reinstatement, that I will never play in the NHC again.
Do me a favor…
Don’t listen to it and then tell me that you don’t care…
If you don’t care, don’t listen!
