It’s you who are failing to make a point. People are saying hockey culture needs to change. And rules could help that. Your argument is “it’s allowed”.
He actually is making his point. You just disagree with it so vehemently that you can't bring yourself to acknowledge it.

If you don't allow 21-year-olds to make their own career decisions, who should be making those decisions instead? At what age do you allow them to make such decisions? Do you ever? Is a 25-year-old who has never made his own decisions suddenly fit to start making them for himself? A 30-year-old? Are the only people fit to make the decision those who are too old to do anything about it?

People get worked up about fights in hockey, but more players get concussions as a result of ordinary hits, collisions while skating at speed, and even simple falls. Do we ban hockey altogether because of that? I know there are people who want to ban gridiron football.

Where do you stop, and do you ever stop?
