Byf vs A Whole Ass Team Including Coachs
Fight: Dustin Byfuglien vs. Literally Everyone
It’s not even a rivalry, hell, they’re not even in the same division, and the game isn’t even that bad, emotion-wise, but there are some things Byf is just tired of hearing. Slurs against himself? He’s been brushing that shit off since peewee, unfortunately. Nobody’s stopped that, but ever since his partner came out as bi, the biphobic, homophobic, and from some astonishingly stupid people, the transphobic shit came out full-force and nobody was doing anything to stop it. So when that last little comment tipped him over the edge, he dropped the gloves and lost it. Some of his teammates had heard and didn’t care that he was wailing on the guy, but his entire team took exception and Byf didn’t care. He was in full-on hulk mode.
When the refs finally separated him from the crowd and pushed him past the benches to get out of the game, he used his not-inconsiderable bulk to stop right in front of the visitors bench, point a finger at the coaches and call them out for not teaching their team to not be bigoted fucks. Every slur that came out of their mouths was a reflection of them, the coaching staff, the captains, and they were just as responsible. The anger on his face was so considerable that the bench and coaches were quiet, just staring as they took it in.
Nobody thought anything was going to happen apart from maybe Byf getting suspended, but he was wearing a mic that day and threatened to post the audio of the offending player all over social media unless that player got as much if not a longer suspension than he got.
Shut up I know the league doesn’t care about women or LGBT people but this is fiction let me dream
