Bobby Hull's grandson lashes out at the media after their treatment of his grandfather
Yesterday Bobby Hull passed away at 84-years-old. The passing of the NHL Legend wasn't simply a celebration of life like it was for so many others. Unfortunately Hull's passing was mired by those who elected to drag his name through the mud.
For the family and friends of Hull, it is difficult to watch someone drag your loved one's name through the mud. It appears that Jude Hull, Bobby's grandson, has finally had enough and he has lashed out at the media for his grandfather's treatment.
You're allowed to have whatever opinion you want of my Grandfather and his past. To air it all out not 12 hours after he passed makes me want to puke. I hope those tweets help you sleep better at night.
There is no questioning Hull's legacy on the ice. Hull is considered to be one of the greatest players of all-time, however his troubling past off the ice is what has garnered most of the attention.
Previous to his death Hull had disputed many of the negative claims against him, but never denied some of the domestic violence claims against him. But instead of focusing on the negative aspect of this, we want to leave you with Jude Hull's final message to his grandfather, and how he remembers him.
