He literally made the fighter get up and start walking it off, and it really helped. It seemed insensitive to me at first but, he knew what he was doing. The difference here is Spiritwolf is allowed to just sit on his knees and grimmace and it’s not conducive to keeping this fight going or helping the cause. Spiritwolf refuses to stand up despite several warnings. The whole place is chanting “Bulls—“.

You decide if you think it was that bad:
