That's a fair point, but let's follow your analogy out.

Suppose that after the hit Theisman hadn't accepted it a part of the cost of playing the game, but had egged on his teammates to attack LT, and to continue the attack for months, that Theisman had tried to get his teammates to ostracize LT, that they had vilified LT and called him all sorts of names and thrown all manner of false accusations at him, that Theisman's teammates had set up a whole new division which excluded LT in order to protect Theisman from having to face LT ever again, and on and on. Do you think LT would still have felt kindly toward Theisman?

It was this response that brought X, for example, into the fray. Not that she approved of the hit, but that she recognized that the response was out of all proportion to the hit and was a greater evil than the hit itself.
