Happens all the time in sports. Men also throw punches but women doing so kinda raises the drama factor by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No real idea to be honest, probably some provocations during the match which then escalated to that last boarding and erupted on that brawl... To be fair I never saw such massive brawl in women hockey before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven´t heard of anything like that. Maybe one or two games suspension for players with match penalty will be moved to next year but other than that I really doubt Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In WTA there was a silent ban for a player who started a catfight with another player and I guess there is a reason for that. Meanwhile in NBA you have Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole and everyone is laughing & joking in the media. No real drama in sight. Women hold grudge against each other much longer than men so that also allows the drama to play out longer. Just last week Eugenie Bouchard was trying to stir the pot by tweeting about beating players busted for doping after beating Dayana Yastremska in Madrid and was swiftly put down to her place after WTA reminded her Yastremska was cleared of doping (as shaky as her excuse was) and Bouchard was forced to delete her tweets and apologize. That is only a minor drama because Bouchard isn't relevant enough on the grand scale anymore and lost her next match anyway. Biathlonfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
