I want them to challenge each other to the point of destroying another’s confidence. Physically..., Mentally..., and Emotionally. If they are not up to the challenge..., go play for the Cowboys.

No offense, but if you want to "fight", get in the ring. Outside of that particular sport where there are safeties in place to protect the athletes, and in any other place in life, balling up your fist and striking another human being is 110% wrong. It shows a lack of emotional control.

If you can't resolve your differences in a civil manner counseling is in order. Full stop. This wasn't even a game where emotion is high, and of course that isn't an excuse. This was clearly a personal issue between two men who let their testosterone get the best of their brains.

It's wrong. Full stop.
