Physical play results in a sudden change in momentum, resulting in the brain making contact with the skull. Fighting while dangerous is likely less so than a number of the big hits that are celebrated here. A lot of the concussions are actually due to the head hitting the ice. Once again a sudden change in momentum.
They are apples and apples.
