Its obvious he was talking about public opinion in regards to immunity. People just want to ignore what Benoit did, Austin gets a free pass for beating his wife but when Punk (who idolizes Austin) called out Chris Brown over beating Rihanna everyone jumped up and down about how cool Punk is and ho bad Chris is. But now all is forgiven for Chris Brown.
And drink driving isn't some innocent crime, it can end very badly, people shouldn't get a free pass just because they won a gold medal.
Such a cop out he did what he did, no excuses.
If this read views on this forum it is clear that the Benoit thing has divided people, and in the media it cursed a really stir (rightly so in a way) , so I don't really see this idea you have of people just wanting to inuore it. It is just a horrible thing, which cost innocent people their lives, but the only thing the wrestling business can do is move on and learn from its mistakes, which to be fair I think it has been doing.
