(12-12-2017, 06:43 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: I watched Around the Horn and Pardon the Interruption yesterday, and all those pundits were calling for the Seattle players to be suspended.   (Those shows were taped before it came out that there would be no suspensions, and aired after it was announced there would be no suspensions.)

As they should have been and I agree with them. There is no reason all ejected players were not suspended, plus Bennett. It is unreal that the only guy ejected for any meaningful time was cancelled out because Jalen was kicked too for nothing but begin blindsided, punched and choked out. Yet somehow he "instigated it". The NFL has set a precedent that will leave you scratching your head. 

- You can't throw a legal hit(JuJu) that hurts someone, because you taunted them you get suspended. What? 
- You can play with a slightly deflated football(Brady) BOTH teams used, and be suspended 4 games for accusations largely proven false. 
- You can be falsely accused of crimes, and be suspended 6 games for it(Zeke), found guilty or not. 
- Yet an actually malicious hit on a defenseless player(Gronk) only gets you 1 game. 
- Shoving someone in the back gets you 1 game(Evans)
-Punch your gf(in self defense, to be fair) on camera, get 2 games. 
-- But, throw punches, roll into knees with intent to injure, use naked choke holds vs the Jaguars and you will not be suspended, bette ryet your player being assaulted gets thrown out too! 

*Just send out a bum player and rock one of our guys illegally. Its Ok, you will have him next week. Literally this has happened in 2 different games now vs us. This is a terrible precedent and its disgusting the NFL has taken this stance when these violations happen vs us. It is mind numbing how Goodell is still the top guy, and just got renewed, there is 0 consistency in suspensions in the NFL and he is the main guy at fault for this.
