So I guess fights at professional sports games are justified violence, since someone probably incited it by insulting an opposing player.
You're confusing incitement and provocation.
Incitement involves actively encouraging action.
"you're bad at hockey and your mother is large" might be provocation
"It is time for us to take up arms against the enemy" is incitement
I think a lot of people are confused about what constitutes incitement.
Yeah would be clearer to say "advocating for violence".
This is unironically true for hockey lol
