Just like how goalies never fight.
I don’t think anyone thinks it’s going to be any more common an occurrence than any other star player fighting, or as I said, it would have surfaced by now.
I don’t know how many fights you’ve been in but getting your jaw broken by a punch is not a skill issue. And go look at the list of guys who have fought in just the last two weeks and tell me these are all highly trained, seasoned fighters.
If we’re going to be realistic, be realistic. Star players fight and injuries happen regardless of “skill.”
