Well here’s a pretty shocking video out of Budapest that shows a teenage Russian hockey player attacking an American opponent and slashing her over the head during a U16 tournament over the weekend. That’s Little Caesars player Hannah Bates getting her head struck by the Russian opponent’s stick, which thankfully snapped to lessen the blunt force to the head.

Thankfully, Bates was able to avoid serious injury and she’s delivered a solid tweet about the incident following the game:

I’m sure Warrior is pretty thankful as well, considering those sexist bastards need all the positive press they can get when it comes to women’s sports these days.
