Processing a possibility isn't the same as preparing yourself for an inevitable assault.
We won a hockey game. I knew the other team would naturally be upset, but I didn't expect another adult to give me a forearm shiver. I still don't understand how I should have responded.
Chris Rock should have zero anticipation or expectation to getting slapped live on international television. His reaction to that rings true to my experience and a layered understanding of context.
I don't think it was a work.
