6. Nope. Male on male violence was totally acceptable.

especially if it was for “standing up for his woman” in years past. That type of behavior is now seen for what it is, an unacceptable loss of control. Will had plenty of time to consider his actions. From the time he stood up until he was on stage. He could have shamed Chris right then and there for a tasteless joke about an incurable medical condition. He could have told him he needed to apologize to Jada(?) and everyone else who suffers with that condition. But he didn’t. He took the low road and that’s what got him 10 years.
