I'd like to share a story with you guys which seems pretty fitting for this subreddit, hopefully text posts are allowed.

This happened at the end of winter this year, in the swiss hockey league. Unlike the NHL we have terraces aswell and not just seats. These terraces tend to get very crowded, so you usually get stepped onto your feet several times during a match and might get some beer splashes onto you, but every regular attendant knows that and a quick apology usually suffocates any arising conflict. Problem is, whenever the play-offs come around, some smart girls think it's a good idea to purchase tickets for the terraces instead of a regular seat and stand in the middle of drunken, singing "hardcore" fans (during the fucking play-offs) expecting to never get touched.

So the whole incident happened in the final game of the semifinals, when the first period was over and everybody rushed down the ramp to the exit to buy some beer/food. I was calmly waiting in line to get to the exit, when suddenly a girl threw a punch at my right leg (she was standing a bit below me). I turned around and was like "wtf why are you hitting me?" and she replied "You pushed me, stop pushing me". Wasn't me of course that shoved/pushed her and even if so that's still not a reason to throw a punch in a crowded area full of drunk people.

So I told her: "Bitch, it wasn't me that shoved you, look around how may people there are, stop fucking hitting me". She looks me dead in the eye and turns around. I thought t was over but nah uhu. Guess she didn't like that I called her a bitch for punching me. She has her back turned to me by now and slams her elbow 3 or 4 times into my stomach, not just regular elbows but full force, the bitch even had the "grab the fist with your other hand to support your elbow swing" technique (Probably has had a lot of training). Naturally I try to push her away and get some space between us, she turns back around and comes back at me with the typical "watcha wanna do? I'm a girl" look on her face.

I was super pissed by now. So I pushed her away again, this time a lot harder and she ends up slamming into one of those sideway-poles that are built all over the terrace. Oh Shit, that looked brutal so I tried to get away immediately. 1 seconds later though her white knight friends (who saw the whole thing and didn't do jack shit before) jumped me. I get punched in the face once and then grabbed by the throat with him screaming "why are you touching my girl, I'm gonna kill you" (or something similar, can't quite remember). What these 2 fucktards didn't know was that I wasn't there alone. The last thing I saw of that guys face was my buddy's fist punching it out of my sight while he was still grabbing onto my throat. And the best thing about the whole evening? Not only did that bitch and her 2 friends get hit hard but starting fights is an absolute no-go and they ended up being forced out of the stadium by their own teams fans.

tl:dr Girl thought she could punch and elbow me for no reason, gets hit hard, her whiteknigh friends aswell, all 3 end up being kicked out of the hockey game.
