Do you think Eric will be different after football? Why or why not

Erik has major mental issues and football has nothing to do with them. Erik is a sociopath who likes to hurt people that can't fight back. Erik's parents enable his behaviour by turning a blind eye to his violent actions. Erik even gets away with blinding his own little brother. I would wager that Erik will end up in jail one day. The end of structured football will only hasten Erik's demise.
