and still completely beside the point, it in no way condones what he did. players have heated exchanges during and after almost every game. i'm not saying it was right of him to tap his shoulder and say something but it in no way makes what blout did acceptable. just because someone pisses you off doesnt make it alright to clock them in the face. at this point these players need to be professionals, not thugs

and yea, he even talked pre-game about the need to keep emotions in check and then he goes and does this. the dudes also been kicked out of practice already once this season
