Pretty much everyone loses their temper once in a while and it’s generally out of frustration. As far as throwing a punch, how many “get the fu&k off me” punches are thrown from the bottom of a pile each play? That’s frustration and losing your temper. No difference and doesn’t make 3/4 of the team people with anger issues and uncontrollable tempers.

Tom Brady throwing his helmet.. losing his temper. The only reason he throws his helmet and not a fist is because even the kicker could whip his ass. It’s a tactile decision lol.

With all the crap going on this year/season in life I’d expect stress to be up, fuses to be short, and I’m surprised we haven’t seen more flair ups.

Everyone loses their temper. Not everyone strikes another person. As a "strategy" at the bottom of a scrum is not the same as striking another human being out of anger.

There simply is no excuse.

When tempers flared, cooler heads prevail. He’s young and this is a learning experience.
