The majority of fights in hockey are not these organic occurrences.
Fights often happen by players responding to teammates being hit with a cheap shot. It's a kind of policing that goes on out there, particularly to protect star players. Fighting in hockey is also used a strategy. Some guys only role on the team is to be a goon. They dictate the who, the when and where of the fight and everybody understands it.
There you go whitesplaining...
I have seen life threatening injuries inflicted in hockey fights.
So WP get to have goons and beat the shyt out of each other and its viewed as a healthy part of the game.
But let this black kid who is just as passionate get berated because he made a mistake on the field and wanted to voice his opinion because God only knows what happened to him in a pile up.
Yeah, I see the difference...
