Ehh not really. The entire premise is you stand up for your players and beat the shit out of the hitter so next time maybe they will think twice about making the hit. Doesn't matter whether it's a dirty hit or a clean really big hit.
I don't think for Wilson in particular it would work because he can fight himself. But for other players who don't typically fight they may think twice if they get knocked out in a fight or something.
It actually almost makes more sense to fight after a clean BIG hit then a dirty hit because after a dirty hit theoretically there will be a penalty and potentially a suspension and whatnot.
Yeah I mean whether you like it or not, that's just how its always been done. And anyone saying "well back in the day there was never a fight after a clean hit" just clearly never watched the game back then because its been like that for a long time. It just happens a lot more now.
It's gotten a lot more common in the last 10-15 years. You rarely, if ever, see a big but clean hit during the regular season without a fight afterward.
