The Golden Jet had a dark side that included being an alleged-wife beater and a Nazi sympathizer, which greatly overshadows his on-ice achievements.

Your a hater bro. I’m from Chicago and he paved the way for my city’s hockey team.
I didn't trash talk on Hull. Only stated the FACT that he, more than once, beat up his wife.
@@jonbrouse5109He was chasing views and presented no evidence besides word of mouth.
Whoever made this video should go to work for the National Enquirer. Small facts are distorted greatly out of reality in an effort to sensationalize for the sake of attention. Whoever masked this video is a POS
I hate to tell people on this video, but he will never be forgotten for his on-ice exploits. But his misdoings will also be remembered. Let's do this objectively.
Nah. He got in a few fights , not a big deal. He didnt go too far like kanye by criticizing those who you cannot criticize. But he knew the truth, he just knew better than to say it publically
I've never seen a recording of it and he might have been goaded into it but saying nice things about Hitler doesn't work for me. The wife beatings didn't help much either.
Never even heard of any of this stuff before. Just know his as HoF and dad to one of the best goal scorers ever
I met Mr. Hull when he was spokesman for a local beer company. I was surprised at the thickness of his chest and the strength of handshake. He did have problems turning his neck so maybe he had a physical injury. Our community got only two or three tv stations so I didn’t see him play much, but as a avid hockey fan I certainly knew of his skills. As to his personal life I knew nothing and as somebody who is well acquainted with alcohol issues I can only feel sorrow for the man and his family. But I will remember him as the Golden Jet.
I know dozens of people who either met Bobby Hull or knew him well. Not a one of them dislike him. That's how he'll be remembered by the vast majority of the hockey community. #HOF
Obviously they did not know him as well as they thought.
@@Dueville7777 They will be the judge of his character.
Precisely.
BOBBY HULL WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FONDLY AS THE LEGEND OF HOCKEY
REGARDLESS OF YOU BASHING HIM!
HE WAS A GOOD MAN!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanx user-id! Bobby probably had an alcohol problem which makes him human! As a recovering 9 year sober alcoholic I know the syndrome. I also know what it is like to be RAILROADED! I met him 3 separate times over the years, and he was always very accommodating. The 'media' however CANNOT be trusted one iota!
Around 1985 one of Bobby's sons was playing Senior A hockey in Brantford, ON. One Sunday afternoon Bobby showed up to sign autographs. Honestly, 90 percent of the people waited in line for an autograph in the lobby and missed most of the game. That's how popular he was.
Bobby Hull always made time after every home game to sign all the kids autographs. There were sometimes 50 kids waiting at the locker room door for the Golden Jet to make his appearance. That is what I will remember.
Only for his ego
And at Gate 3.5 at the old Chicago Stadium...1800 W Madison
I wouldn't be able to reconcile an amicable persona with his alter ego that beat his wife and was a Nazi sympathizer.
@daniel213141 as if he is the only athlete with issues ok for some I guess.
@@ed8880 I didn't say he was. Apparently his wife took him to the cleaners when they divorced....couldn't happen to nicer guy.
Alot of former players had alcohol addictions and issues bobby was a fan favourite. I met him a few times he was nice and a pleasure to meet.
This is very true (heavily dependent on alcohol) of many players from Bobby’s day, heavy drinking was all a part of the persona that they would wear. Probably the only players who avoided it would be very religious players who begged off as being against their beliefs. Getting “your bell rung” was simply a rite of passage and guys of his generation were expected to simply shrug it off and keep playing, I imagine the drinking would help to deal with the bruises and fractured bones that they often played through.
Probably because you were the correct skin color in his eyes.
@@JawaPenguin16 yeah the statistically brighter and safer one at that . This is true.
@@JawaPenguin16 he got along with the indians in whitewood.
Are you any better speaking ill of the dead ? Guy would work his ass of for the game signing autographs till everyone got one. Once gave me a game signed stick in Winnipeg in 1976, Caught up with him again at a signing in Thunder Bay in the early 90's got him to refresh the faded signiture, he got choked up when he realized I kept the stick all along.....
Valid point for sure. Booze is not a good thing. Sometimes it makes people mean and violent. No studies needed to prove that one. He could shoot it over 120.. and I think the best clocked speed was 122
@@glenw-xm5zf nah it’s was almost physically impossible for Hull to ever hit that speed at that time with those sticks. It was said that the measurements at the time likely were a result of something else entirely . I believe the speed at the moment the puck just left the stick upon impact it has been said . Not the point at crossing the goal line when struck from the center hashmarks as they do in the All-Star game. That could be a cause as from the very moment the puck leaves the stick it will accelerate and then decelerate even over 10 feet. He definitely had a rocket of a shot but I’m sorry that number 122 is just impossible. Another likelihood is that the equipment used at the time to measure the speed was highly faulty as to accuracy. .
Maybe the take away is that we make idols of people for all the wrong reasons. That's a great story but it doesn't negate the other aspects of his life. You had a great moment with him doesn't absolve him of the nightmare childhood his kids experienced. Maybe we should be a little more demanding of our idols?
@@sergiocalcio9481 Dennis Hull also said that he and Bobby snapped the newer/modern sticks like twigs when they practiced with them. Ask Glenn Hall about how HARD Bobby's shot was bcuz he had many WELTS on his body from those shots!
@@johnwhyte2638 How do you know anything about Bobby Hull's personal life to say that his kids had a NIGHTMARE experience??? This is just irresponsible GOSSIP now. "BeLIEve nothing you hear and half of what you see."
He stayed with my old coach during covid In Lewiston NY... was a nice dude
What? Haha no way I’m from that area, wild
I had the very special pleasure to meet Bobby Hull . When i was with him for a whole day so many people approached him with the game and year of the game he played in and told him how much they remembered his playing.
My main question is why are you going to trash a man that died like that’s disrespect on another level man
Fair point and we do comment on this in the video. Right now everyone is talking about Hull's legacy. Therefore, his whole legacy needs to be acknowledged, so the complete picture is told.
@@vagabondhockey6761 and you think you can be the one to do that?
@@killerkyle92 cause he wants views . He's no different than the subject .
I don't want to be an apologist for the man, as I've never met him. However, he, like most hockey jocks growing up in smalltown North America during the 50s, did not have much formal education and was brought up in a place where 'ethnic' meant Polish. His prejudices likely followed those of his family, church, and Anglo-German Canadian town folk, where Hitler may have been hated, but looked at with awe as someone who nearly engineered the take down of the Western World. As a guy who moved quickly from that reality to the pinnacle of big-City American sports high society, with its own prejudices and trappings of wealth, Hull probably didn't have much time to culture much personal perspectives in social economics, and what he did have was likely spoonfed to him, by rich owners. Add to this that his sport, professional hockey, was almost devoid of non-white influences until after his retirement. These may not excuse or justify Hull's ideas, but they may make some sense of them.
As for his wife beating, that's another matter.
yea bro huge disrespect man he definitely deserves to be remembered kindly, so what if he beat the living shit out of his wife with a blunt weapon and held her over a balcony
Despite any beliefs, opinions or alleged domestic violence Mr. Hull had, doesn’t make him a “terrible human being”, it makes him a human. Nobody is perfect in anyway, not even the narrator. Lesson, don’t go around throwing stones from your glass house.
Nah if your own daughter is willing to confirm how terrible you were. You might just be a terrible person.
@@JawaPenguin16 I've known many terrible people that were also someone's daughter. Just saying.
@@billsouza4457 I remember the reports on him. Not 'alleged' at all. We make heroes of athletes, Big mistake. I see both sides of this thing. however all mankind has sinned and falls short of the Glory of God.. even U and me.. and yes it is easy to point fingers..
@@JawaPenguin16 I know plenty of Rabbis daughters who hold the same opinion of their fathers so they just might be terrible people too. Ya know ?
Nah lets not normalize domestic violence. That is inhumane behaviour
im cant finish watching this.
Had the worse RUG in the league. Still a legend...
Guy in video talking about Kane being accused of rape is a black eye for the Hawks. I guess being accused but the cops dropping it for lack of evidence doesn't matter.
Did he mention the Kyle Beach SEXUAL ASSault fiASSco too? I met Kyle after a WHL game in Kelowna. He was a polite young man to me. The NHL, NHLPA, and Blackhawks did absolutely NOTHING, and that PERVERT moved on to assault other young men! Kyle was paid off and fled to Europe!
truegrit, being a 'celebrity' can make one a TARGET also, bcuz people nowadays are capable of the LOWEST OF THE LOW behaviour! I've seen society implode in my 71 years on Earth. Ask me why I'm a loner...
Hull was a flawed person. However, he will always be remembered for being 1 of the greatest Hockey players ever!
Give us the list of people who are not flawed . . . .
@@RayManzarekRocks I didn't say there isn't any person who isn't flawed. I said Hull was a flawed person who will always be remembered for being 1 of the greatest Hockey players ever. Is this too difficult for You to understand? Try reading my entire comment or hire somebody to explain it to You!
@@seveglider8406 If every person is flawed, then there's no need to mention that undeniable fact. It can be assumed.
@@RayManzarekRocks I stated the truth that Hull is a flawed person and also stated there isn't any person who isn't flawed. You asked for a list of people who are not flawed.
It's like they were 2 different people. U understand and respect the history his family may have had with him. The other side, as a Blackhawk and straight up hockey fan is that you could not meet a nicer guy. I remember him standing outside gate 3.5 at the old Stadium with a big smile and sighing absolutely everyones request for an autograph. Truly a Jekyll and Hyde, apparently.
Whoever is speaking is a good. I met him many times and i saw what a terrible his wife was. No woman deserves to be hit but i I saw a very dark woman and a wonderful generous man. 'Your ignorance and your arrogance will come to pass on the gates if you have not got past them in the present- Einar Johansin
He and his wife lived down the road from me, and before that just across the bay
She seemed decent enough human
For miles around in our town, we all knew what he did to her between all those public smiles and "I'm a nice guy signing autographs"
Mrs Hull could only wish he was that sweet to her
Yes, were all sure mrs hull was a wonderful wife who never got violent with her husband. Never , not once. Because no woman has ever got violent with her husband, then called the cops when the husband responds in kind. Good point
Why drag Kayner into this? Thought that was crap.
To the creator of this video: At the 3:10 mark you have pictured Bobby Hull standing next to Stan Mikita's wife, while your narration was on Hull's ex-wife and her accusations toward him. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! I am not offended by the narrative but I am offended that Mrs. Mikita (a wonderful woman) is pictured next to Hull on this video and the narration contains information about Hull's ex-wife. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! Thank you.
Chiefsfan, this GAFF shows me just how UNreliable, and INACCURATE this video is. Tomorrow I'm going to investigate this further. It's LATE and I'm tired right now!
We never heard about celebrities personal life until the 2000's. There was no cable television before the 1980's, internet 1990's , and smart phones before 2007. The media just promoted them for what they did on stage. Now we know many many of the celebrities private lives.oh he'll still be remembered for his nhl feats. He still is in the top 4 Nhl
So true. Too much "peculiar" interest in peoples lives.
stop lying, we had newspapers and magazines that did the same thing.
= Why I am happy that only a few hundred folks know me, and I have no 'on line' friends. Real friends are much more fun
shut up
Oh the tabloids did not exist then...... oh wait I was alive before the 1980s, they did exist! You are full of s___!
What kind of jerk are you to kick a man when he’s gone.
I think its fair game going after a generation of people for domestic abuse is fine but to single out Hull as the main target is despicable. He wasnt perfect but neither that generation of athletes
You are comparing bobby hull who was born 100 years ago and dead to kanye west is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.
that's too bad hearing this side of bobby hull, i only knew his hockey. i got to see him play against the bruins several times at boston garden in the 60's. before you could buy curved sticks we read in a hockey magazine how bobby and stan mikita were putting a curve on their sticks and we started doing it to our sticks. all those hockey players were heroes to us.
Hull Forever!!
He seems like a pretty cool guy to me.
?
LoL
U must be a Maga orange head voter
This is just an opinion piece… Whether or not most, or all of it is true, doesn’t really matter to fans who still love him just the way he was.
I think that's a challenge we have in society... All of us are flawed, but some in a worse manner. We have to find a way to reconcile people's accomplishments in one arena with major flaws in another. The accomplishments cannot be ignored, but neither should the flaws. This isn't just for sports people... it's for politicians, religious leaders, teachers and more. We can't rip down every statue. Nobody is without flaw.
clifford, it's probably MUCH more than an 'opinion piece', but an EVIL agenda. I've researched MK (mind control) since 1996, and I know victims personally. I also know how DUMBED DOWN most people are, and how they got that way...
It primes you to think anti semitism is wrong.
''which greatl overshadows his on ice achievements''.... according to some nobody youtuber.
I remember my mother talking how Bobby Hulls wife would come into the Victoria and Grey Trust bank in Belleville where my mother was a teller. Mrs. Hull would come in with black eyes and bruises... little Brett would be climbing on the counter. Everyone new who she was, very sad!
Everyone has problems. Bobby Hull had a really good side. A star on ice and a man who would visit children hospitals. Bobby was the pride of Point Ann Ontario. Respect the dead.
I can only speak on my interactions with Bobby which was all great
beating your wife with a steel boot and threatening to throw her off a balcony, ah, yes. "problems".
EXCUSES FOR A RACIST AND A WOMAN BEATER... DISGUSTING 😒
I grew up in Montreal in the 1960s and 70s. I do not have to tell anyone which was my favourite team! But I remember Bobby Hull so well. We love his powerful slapshot. Also he shared two things with Maurice Richard: the number 9 and often having an adversary team player assigned just to watch him.
He was an amazing player. Is it true that he hit Jacques Plante in the face and Plante survived that because he was the first goalie with a mask? Is this urban legend?
Man why yall wait till he died?????
He brought excitement to a game that people around here didn't know a blue line from a clothesline he was the man
the racist wife beating man
@Seek and Destroy can't say I've beaten my wife with a steel toe boot or hung her off of a balcony threatening her life. we usually just cuddle and stuff
@Seek and Destroy id say loving and cherishing my wife every day makes me a better person by default
@Seek and Destroy okay i just realized you were trolling lol you got me
You have any references for these claims?
Only the assault charge on cop was proven. The rest is hearsay.
@@Bomberjet yup

No wonder Brett wasn't in contact with him during his teenage and early career..
roimari, So, you SWALLOW all this malarkey hook, line and sinker???
I have his autographed picture in my hallway
Hull was a great player and a great guy.
Funny I haven't heard one of his five children say he was a great guy yet! I guess when it's your Mother he's beating it holds more weight?
@@johnwhyte2638 Who knows except those who are very close to the Hull family, and even then we don't really know anyone until we live with them! My own daughter was turned against me by her DIMWIT lying mother, and I have not seen her since 1992, when my daughter was 4. I went thru HELL for a LONG time but I have resigned myself to the fact that I can only be responsible for my OWN actions, not other people's. I got a FREE course in "CORRUPTION In Canada's Courts101" too. BTW, I read something about Joanne, years ago, and her description of her own small children was VERY MUCH less than flattering! She came off as an uncaring mom to me. All the photos I've seen of her, she was never smiling either, but there may be a reason for that too. My opinion of Bobby Hull has NOT been lowered bcuz of some YT video either, or other HEARSAY. I KNOW from my OWN experience how SATANIC the system is, but I actually have a functioning brain.
I'm shocked to hear of this. I hope Brett isn't anywhere near the bad sort that his father was. I read Brett's book "Shooting and Smiling" years ago, and on thinking about it now, there were clearly "omissions"; very little info concerning his father and family life. I now understand why
Brett shows symptoms that he is a Christian, in heart and deed. Always has a smile, too
Could very well be true but do you believe everything you read/watch?
@@billsouza4457 ROFL... NO.. I never believed the scare tactics of the media, of WHO, of big pharma,, or John Kerry, or Al gore an dsuddenly 'they 'present Bill Gates as a health expert.?? and on and on and on. They are all corrupt
This is all hearsay and unsubstantiated accusations. He's just making a video to profit off the death of a human being.
@LoneWoIfPack19 Proof that things weren't are in the facts now known. Brett's mom, Joanne, has let it be known about the bashings she received at Hull senior's hands, which none of her children have denied. The guy was also on police record for other violence issues. Plenty of other incidents confirm. The perpetrators of domestic violence must always be exposed and their names to be on record, forever more. Name and shame.
I saw his last game in a black hawk uniform: game 4 of the 1972 semi finals at msg the rangers completed a 4 game sweep
He probably did this...but most is He said She said....so...this vid should be pulled if not true.... Smear shot ...for sure
both sides have merit. I also hate trashing on people, especially after they are gone.. but we do remember his seriously beat her up. Enough about this already
@@glenw-xm5zf she dropped the charges . Could you speculate on why ? Lack of evidence ? Officer on scene cousins corroborate nor validate ? Etc
@@sergiocalcio9481 FEAR
Great player ... Don't care about his private and off ice crapp
Why put this video out now? You should of put this out a long time ago while he was alive & interview him, his wives, children & other people in this video.
His on-ice achievements will always be remembered and overshadow his off ice antics. To say otherwise is ridiculous whether its right or not.
I'll be remembering the hockey star, not the allegations..... Lets Go Buffalo!! THEEBUFFALOWARPIGS
These examples, along with what happened with Penn State football and Schembechler's Michigan program are why I hate sports these days. And I worked as a sports writer for decades. I am glad to see a video be straightforward, not candy coating Hull's misdeeds. Well done.
He had unbelievable charisma and his 15 years with the hawks was a real plus for the league
That League is, and was, ran nby some of the biggest jerks in professional sports. It's a good thing for them that hockey is such a great sport.
Charisma is terrably over rated. Ted Bundy had charisma
@@glenw-xm5zf As did Epstein and Weinstein
Maybe if we had more players like Hull they wouldnt be wearing the LGBT shirts so proudly before games like they do today.
Agreed . Great comment. Cheers.
Crybabies are always looking for a reason to be relevant. You made a TH-cam video and this man helped build the best sport in the world.
"crybabies" ah yes, "waah he beat his wife with a steel boot and held her over a balcony waah"
YOU MUST LIKE YOUR MOM OR DAUGHTER BEING BEAT TO A PULP. WHAT A 🤡 OF A PERSON YOU ARE. YOU DESERVE TO BE LAYING RIGHT NEXT TO THAT DISGUSTING COWARD OF A MAN.. IN A PILE OF HORSE DUNG.
@Seek and Destroy it's in the video you are commenting on lmfao
It's fair to appreciate athletes for their abilities(I think). However,we shouldn't be surprised at this stage in history when our sporting heroes fail us as human beings. I'm not defending Hull's horrible actions and words. I'm just pointing out that he was who he was. Charles Barkley was right when he claimed(I think this was his claim) that athletes were not role models.
Nailed it. I love sports and movies and music but make idols of none of them. When ever I am asked to name the best athlete I saw I answer Terry Fox!
Very good answer. When I was a kid Dave Keon was my favorite Leaf(early to mid 70s). Decades later I learned how complicated he always was and how petty and vindictive he could be---though he spoke a LOT of truth about how the Leafs were being run. When Ballard was in charge the team was often in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Some players kind of defended him. The more honest ones crapped on him. We're simply talking about human beings,nothing more,nothing less.
Bull ... the same players that want to do as they please do retire some day , and then they want to either wright a book or prosper from their name in public business / ALL of A SUDDEN they want recognition /// and cant figure out why no one wants anything to do with them becauise they did not want to be role models ... suck it up Un role model
Could care less if they WRITE books or do whatever when they're done with sports. Who cares? Sounds like you do. If you don't want them to ''prosper,'' don't buy their books or watch them on tv. Your choice. Bull? Nope. Barkley is STILL right. He couldn't FORCE anyone to hire him to be an analyst. Blame the person who did.
HE CHANGED THE GAME , RIP
Gretzky and Orr changed the game,not Bobby Hull
@@glenw-xm5zf Actually Bobby Hull did change the game . Firstly he brought in the usage of curved sticks which were not used before him and had a dramatic and profound effect there after. Secondly he was the catalyst for players getting fair wages from the owners of hockey clubs. Prior to his influence owners had all the leverage over the player in terms of salary. So yeah you kind of wrong.
@@sergiocalcio9481 Ok. I was wrong. end of debate ;-)🤐
He was a great hockey player and by today's standards, as a person, your garden variety Trumper. Nothing to see here.
I never knew Bobby was based. Nice. Check out X, dude was ahead of the curve when it came to Noticing
Where did all the hair come from in his later years 😂
Some Crappy Toupee made in Tel Aviv . He later went with the German ones.
Bobby Hull was a great hockey player! And a great representative of ice hockey! The greatest game ever created! But, you really have to be at the rink to experience the game. Television doesn't do it justice.
Sorry.
joe, Not only at the rink but at RINK-SIDE very CLOSE to the action, and I've experienced that a few times in the PNE Forum, late 1960s, and Pacific Coliseum too, watching the WHL Canuck teams. I also played Beer League Hockey up until I was over 50 years old, and what a GREAT game it is! Of course 'the game' also IMITATES life too, and why I QUIT when I did about 20 years ago. I miss it but not the BOORISH behaviour that I used to be a part of.
I will remember him as the great hockey player he was.
Patrick Kane's rape accusation was pure BS. The girl's mother was trying to cash in.

what are you guys talking about
Bobby Hull is the greatest left winger that the game of hockey has seen period. What he did off the ice is irrelevant! This personal life is his business and no one else.
Woah…the Golden Jet needs me?
pretty dumb to partly credit him with better wages, yes he got big bucks to go to WHA but the WHA ultimately folded, WHA tried to buy its way into being the main league and failed
He was still a great hockey player regardless of what he did. I couldn't care less!
Fan of hitler too xd?
@Ratchetti Wow. What an original retort. If all else fails throw Hitler into the mix. Some of you people just can't help yourselves.🤣 What a putz.
I can understand the statement that he is still a great player, I mean Simpson is still a HOF running back regardless of innocence or guilt. But to not care seems a bit odd. I think Hull SR. was a great player but as a human being I care that he was an alcoholic, abusive husband. It is the kind of behavior that destroys families, it put his daughter into the field of law where she defends women who have been abused.
@@Ratchetti What do you know about Hitler or anything else of importance? Just get to work bcuz you gotta PAY for THREE houses to buy one in our 'FREE', and 'democratic' society!
The entire Chicago Blackhawks organization is garbage. So undeserving of winning the 1st overall pick this year. A great player going to a terrible organization. A sad day for hockey.
He had a very short stint as an analyst on HNIC back during the 1981-82 season. Hull wasn’t very good and seemed to be struggling during the broadcasts.
I did not know that Bobby was on HNIC then, but I was homeless, living in my truck, and bouncing around most of that year of 1982.
I remember him for his wicked slap shot
Loved him at one time, but then he became conceited and a wife beater,listen to his interviews all about him how he was everything
I focus on him being the greatest left wing in history.
I don't believe any of that bullshit about bobby hull i met and he was a very nice man.
Yeah but those Kane allegations were false and never had much of a stance to begin with
Bobby Orr must be a Saint ?
What'd the Blackhawks do to make you hate on them so much...and I don't think it's unethical to present rumors and hearsay as fact.
Lonewolf, First question, my answer is KYLE BEACH. Your 2nd statement may be sarcasm, but nowadaze society is so SATANIC, you may be serious.
This is nothing new.
It's been repeated far too often by people with nothing to do..
He made mistake like ALL of us and many who have never been brought to justice.
File the story and find something important and meaningful to talk about. This is cheap gossip.
This "Vagabond Hockey" pod should be talking about hockey.
Also far too often people place celebs and athletes on a pedestal where very few belong...they're only people just like the rest of us.
Allegedly this allegedly that, credible accusations, quotes from Moscow 😂😂 . Great player , great guy , you have no proof of all the B S.
Based dude. Now I like him even more.
Because he was a drunk, racist, wife beater? Jesus Christ..
This is your typical 2023 story! The Dude brought hockey 🥅 to the level it is today & if his own Son can forgive him? Who the f..k are we to judge a man who’s passed away!

Him & all his little off duty drunk Cop buddies didn’t want to hear the truth to “shut the f up & sit down!” Because, ya know, they’re Cops so they’re above the law & the rest of us in their pathetic minds anyways. Once you start trashing him, I stopped watching! The guy isn’t even alive to defend himself! This is sooooo cheesy nonsense!
Agreed . Guy who made this video is a typical yid . Yes I believe so.
Is that a mop glued to the Golden Jet's chrome dome...?
There are things more important in life than career, money, and putting puck into a net. You can't take any of that stuff with you when you go. Problem is that too many think they will never go, so they view everything important as the "here and now" only.
I.e."He made me happy because it's so exciting in the here and now to see pucks slapped into a net! So I rate a person ad great only on the criteria that he made me feel happy about seeing that..."
Yeah , the Talmud is all about the here and now for the Chosen over the goyim , isn’t it ?
And there's a statue to george floyd. I'll still wear his jersey.
Love Bobby Hull!
Is Dave Keon any better?? Oh yeah, I think he scrapped with John Ferguson and Eddie Shack. NOT . What a wimp.
I met Bobby Hull 21 years ago when he was signing autographs at Office Depot, where he was a spokesman at the time. I asked him which goaltender he had the toughest time scoring against during his career. Without a moment's hesitation he said 'none of them'. I said 'no one in particular, maybe Terry Sawchuk or Jacques Plante'? Again without a moment's hesitation he said 'Sawchuk I could score against at will. Plante was a bit harder because he played for Montreal most of his career who always had the best defense. I found him a bit cocky.
It's so easy to judge isn't it. Nobody is all good and nobody is all bad. Beating up women is wrong and in my opinion stupid and cowardly. I bet the alcohol was a contributing element, but there is no excuse. Nor does it have relevance to what he did on ice. Hull's opinions on race and whatever may be offensive but so what. He was never in a position to make laws or establish public policy so they were just words. People putting so much stock in the words coming out of celebs mouths seems stupid. I think you went with the low hanging fruit here. Claiming Hull was a horrible person because he didn't live up to present day social standards in the 60's really serves no one. But I guess one more cheap shot on a hockey legend who made a living while seeing plenty of cheap shots isn't the end of the world.
Agree with most of what you say but standards in the 60's never allowed for beating your wife. That isn't some new standard we suddenly came up with. I think it best we simply don't glorify people for all the wrong reasons. I love hockey and can attest to the fact Bobby Hull was one of the best of his era, but that doesn't make him worthy of idolization. And just because I love him as a hockey player doesn't mean that learning what he was like off the ice as a husband and father doesn't change how I view him. If it didn't I would question my morals. Being a great hockey player was entertaining, being a great husband and father is of far more worth in this life and a much greater legacy of any man!
Alledged. When you start your narrative by saying " imagine if" you are setting up a false narrative.
In other words....nome of it is true.
Nothing more credible than accusations of ex wives...
As for his opinions - many confused kids in 2023 could learn a lot from him.
I'll tell you who learned from him, his daughter Michelle! After watching her father abuse her mother for years she dedicated her life to making a difference. She became a lawyer whose practice represents women who are abuse victims. Also worth noting is that Brett seldom speaks publicly about his father and when he does it is about hockey.
Well done! Very factual and truthful summary. 💯 👍
Awesome hockey player 😊
Terrible human being 😞
That's your opinion What about The Kids Foundation in Winnipeg he created and donated a lot of his money to
@fklifter1 it's all lies. His fist wife was an absolute monster. Never met one person who knew her say anything positive.
@@fklifter1
Gotti donated to a kids foundation too. Does that mean he’s not a criminal?
@@jimbon6681
Wrong. It’s a documented fact. Did the Chicago cop he criminally assaulted make up it up? Maybe Judge Callum never existed. 😟
Chicago Tribune- Former Chicago Black Hawks star Bobby Hull, 47, pleaded guilty to a charge of assault Wednesday in Du Page County Circuit Court for taking a swing at a Willowbrook police officer who intervened in an argument between Hull and his wife Dec. 8.
Hull was fined $150 and placed on six months` court supervision by Judge Thomas E. Callum.
@@billyrock8305 sure cops never lie right?
You guys probably never saw Hull play. I did, as early as1961 in Toronto. Fast, and a shot so hard with a straight blade that Johnny Bower just avoided.
Don't conflate two things. Mickey Mantle was severely hungover, and admits he was finished in 1962.
WOKE, PC sideliners. Pity
I saw him play. He was Pavel Bure on 'roids.
5 ft 9 and he was 200 lbs +/-3
He skated fast and hit his wife hard, some boyhood idol!
the cope in these comments jeesh
The nose in these comments ((( and video ))) jeeesh
Anyone believing crap like this is easily brainwashed...was he perfect maybe not but neither is any of us... he is human like us we don't always make great decisions in life but to defame him by saying he's a terrible human being is despicable plus show the proof where he done all this crap...we all know about opinions right ?...wake up folks and stop believing everything you see on here.
Don't you think it's odd Hull's own children never came out with statements saying there's no truth to the abuse allegations? His brother never said publicly that it's not true? You know his first wife spoke about the abuse in a 2002 ESPN documentary, where were the cries of defamation? In fact Hull's daughter Michelle acknowledges the abuse and is now a lawyer who represents battered women because of the life her mother suffered with Bobby. That loud beeping sound? That's your alarm going...wake up and stop thinking your heroes are perfect humans.
It’s easy to pick on a dead man an remember there is always two side to every story an then there is the truth!
So 👍🏿 true
I don't believe you are implying that his wife 'deserved' or 'asked' for it. Unless you are under serious attack, there is NO excuse for PUNCHING a woman in the face. Serious attack means you cannot escape and she is coming at you with a weapon.
By the time Bobby’s wives and their Attorneys were Done with him he was bankrupt the wives got it all ! All he had left was his farm he had before the marriages they sucked everything they could out of the golden jet
what's the other side of him beating his wife
Ok what justification can you give for beating his wife with a steel toe boot?
Look, dude. You gotta understand what these types of guys were like back in the day. I used to play hockey with former pros, small town Canadian types and they all say racist and antisemitic stuff. I remember they razzed me and my father a lot for being Jewish and even made nazi swastika jokes. While it was not the best feeling at the end of the day in their minds they really were just joking even if they weren't great comedians. I mean, that's just what hockey dressing rooms were like. They weren't bad people at all. I'm assuming Hull was similar. He had a reputation for being aggressive. Him and Brett didn't get along for many years because he was probably very rough around the edges. Not fair to call him a bad person. Was he arrested ever? Did he murder someone? Did he steal? The allegations are just allegations. Women are very capable of starting fights too. Then of course if they push far enough they could get hurt. None of us know any real details and using the daughter saying 'oh, that sounds just like him' isn't proof of anything at all. I doubt he was a perfect person but he's dead now and can't defend himself while you call him a disgusting human being. I think it's way out of line. Maybe ask Brett what he thinks of your vid.
The fact that Brett almost never speaks of his dad beyond the context of hockey speaks, no screams volumes! And that daughter is now a lawyer who defends abused women says more. Also note that in the ESPN documentary in 2002 when Joanne talks about the abuse in the marriage there was never any one saying it wasn't true. Not one of the kids, not Bobby's brother, odd isn't it to let such a public statement go unchecked?
So... He shared the same views as every American male of his generation?
Yeah , that’s what I said . Turns out he also shared many of even this generation and it’s only getting more popular if you catch my drift .
Accusation are often ammunition for woman.
Terrible, unremorseful human being? And you say this is objective??... He's just a hockey player!??... And you're referencing the Moscow Times and the Toronto Sun :D:D... You don't know anything about this man. Maybe think about saying nothing at all if this is all you have to say about the deceased.
Class ! Let's trash a man who just died and can't defend himself. I wonder what ghosts are in your closet ? RIP BOBBY!
Well, let's see now. He calls himself Vagabond Video so the ghosts must be in his bed!
a bullly and a biggot. Yeah he was a good play but he was a terrible person.
Gitta trash the hockey great AFTER DEATH??? Wow aren't you a special person!
This is All Garbage , all Hype ....
Didn't like him or his son.
Nothing like running a man down when he has passed away maybe not enough guts to say it when he was alive very poor taste
His wife talked about the abuse in an ESPN documentary in 2002, the public didn't care or call him out on it. That he could be revered by so many despite his history of abuse is poor taste.
