IMO for it to be hypocritical it WOULD have to be the same governing body. That was my point.

Otherwise I'm really not sure what your argument is/what you are upset about. Hockey is a contact sport, always has been; tennis is not. Do hockey players take it too far, probably, but too far in hockey and too far in tennis are, and should be, vastly different things. I'd find it silly to expect the same behaviors in both.

Now if you'd noted that two tennis players misbehaved similarly and the women was fined while the man was not by the same governing body, then I'd say that was hypocritical, sexist, and wrong. No evidence of that has been brought up here though. The comparison was between apples and oranges.
