You should be able to charge &#8230; and if they don&#8217;t want to fight, they take a knee.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In hockey, players take off their gloves to signal their intention to fight and each player involved receives a five-minute penalty. If a player leaves the bench to join the fight, however, they are automatically ejected from the game.<\/p>\n<p>Alonso seemed to agree with this framework, insisting that teams would not be involved in his proposed one-on-one fights because &#8220;that&#8217;s when people can get seriously hurt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
