I don't have an issue with the verbiage. I have an issue with him completely rushing to judgment about it. I get that he was heated because that was a pretty big brawl and they cost themselves the rest of their season. But as video showed, they were simply defending their teammate.

It's clear that the other guys were definitely teh instigators. They were also the ones throwing helmets, throwing trash cans, stomping on DJ Law, hit the trainer pre-game, etc. That team absolutely started everythign.

HOWEVER, I dno't blame buddy for being pissed in the lockerroom after. He told them REPEATEDLY, many, MANY times, that they were going to goad them into fighting and not to do it. He told them their season could be ended by fighting. He told them they had nothing to lose and were going to intentionally try to bait EM into fighting. And he told them, time after time after time, DO NOT FIGHT BACK.

And within seconds of DJ and the other dude throwing a casual arm out/push at each other, both benches cleared.

I get there's something to be said for protecting your own and not being a pansy and all that, but ffs he told them about 50 times not to fight and they did it anyway. I can understand him being pissed.
