Man, woman, hockey player, broadcaster. No matter who you are, if you believe Greig’s action needed more response than “play better” or “respond in kind” then you’re a cave person. Here’s a couple rocks, enjoy smacking them together for a few hours. It’s impossible to defend the code here without undercutting your own intelligence.
Pretty much this. Some fans just like violence and will randomly defend it when they think there's an opportunity.

I really felt we were making progress with this stuff for a while, but I guess with ultra-conservatism on the rise in general, this is to be expected.

Rielly was being a baby, just a perfect example of a ridiculously immature manchild, but somehow because he threw a tantrum that was violent it's something to defend for some people.

How about you try to actually do that hockey better.
