The disconcerting part is the the comments, where a lot of people defend these responses because they were preceded by real, but much milder provocations. Either they haven't played a lot of sports themselves and experienced the chippiness players sometimes get away with and sometimes get caught at, or they have inadequate frontal lobe activity* that moderates behavior, and let rage take over too easily. Or maybe they hate Mormons or something.
Well of course I commented. Nothing left unsaid around here.
