I know a lot of tough guys here would say they would have pummeled him. Good luck fighting your way out of hundreds of fans after that.
This guy took it like a man pretending he wasn't in pain but he made the wrong move.
The move is crying like a little baby and going for the sympathy lay. The mascot would back you up in it for fear of him being fired/university being sued.
This guy could have scored a 9 here if he played this right.
Acting tough never helps.
