That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that since the NFL is historically inconsistent as hell when it comes to how it punishes its white players vs its black players I am not expecting Rudolph to be properly punished for his part in the brawl.
He intended to hit him with the crown of his helmet and he didn't give a fuck where he hit him. Head down, just running at the dude that he couldn't see, I don't care if he didn't want to hit him in the head, he didn't care enough to try to see where he would hit him. Players complain all the time about penalties and fouls even if they knew they did it, or else every offsides is a false start, too.
I agree it was reckless. But there is a large chasm sitting between unintentional injury due to bad technique or reckless play...and "bountygate" intentional acts to injury which was being alleged.
agreed on all counts.
You made this false claim, I'm questioning it:
He is just asking why you are intentionally misrepresenting Rudolph's off the field politics.
It wasn't intentional (fortunately) and your head canon and narratives aren't going to change that. It was unfortunate and an example of the poor technique the NFL continues to struggle to clean up, but nothing more than that. Sorry dude. We can agree to disagree if necessary.
I'm sure they'll address the additional players as needed. We're focusing on the major offenders.
I get why people would think this, but given that the NFL won't even ban players who have killed people or beaten and raped women they are not going to ban a plate for something like this.
Okay, like when a drunk driver hits someone they didn't intend, okay. Let's just agree to disagree.
It's funny seeing people calling for a lifetime ban. Like bruh... no lol
But it was assault... You can cry all you want about it but "sir he was MAGA" isn't a excuse that holds up in court. Mason doesn't have to file charges, the police can if they see fit.
there were so many fouls at that game I say F it. the teams allowed that behavior, so jsut punish everyone. then add additional punishments to the players
I dont think he gets a lifetime ban but yeah I dont see the thought ridiculous. Using a weapon at work in front of millions of people....not the smartest. Actually if he wasnt a former #1 pick and rather a journeyman 55th guy, I could definitely see it.
Your post about what happened was spot on. I I think suspensions due to their press coverage will be higher than normal.
Too much to sort through, they'll probably ignore them and just focus on the others. At some point they'll realize that four scrawny officials ain't gonna stop those guys and need help.
Hyperbole to drive the point that that shit was avoidable but he didn't give a fuck about consequences.
Yeah the NFL couldn't do that even if they wanted to.
A 4 game suspension for a scrum that happens almost every game??? You're joking right?
That person wasn't talking about Garrett hitting Rudolph. They were talkingg about the unintentional bad hits from earlier in the game. Then you compared those unintentional hits to a drink driver hitting someone.
To be fair, if he's MAGA and a fan of Tomato Lardfan, he already has brain damage.
I'm not saying anything Garrett did was good, reasonable or anything less than out of control.
