Not taking a stance either way as we don't have the info to make a judgement (except to note that Clark's discipline was very minimal for someone who egregiously punched a team mate).
Let me put it this way. What hurts the team worse, Ifedi ending Clark's season by targeting his knee, or Clark taking Ifedi out for a few practices by punching him. Both are bad, but if Ifedi was targeting knees in camp, then Clark's action is understandable.
If it was nothing more than verbal sparring and clean, physical play from Ifedi, then Clark should have had a significantly greater punishment. It's weird that he didn't, and makes me think there is more to the story than simple retaliation for verbal and clean physical jousting.
