Games are very similar-fast, very physical, no defined tackle. It is inevitable disputes will arise when you have that confluence of factors.  If someone is acting like an arse, they would know theyre going to get called out....not necessarily by their direct opponent....more likely by an enforcer, or as they are popularly referred to a "goon"

No one wants to see that sort of stuff.

New York Times ran a 3 part story about a one time enforcer and the toll it took on him (and about enforcers generally).  That a sport would allow this is frankly sickening.
