Message: [QUOTE="Jake, post: 4200098, member: 86"] He infers that the refs did review the play, but couldn’t act upon it because they got there too late. His point isn’t that Buddy shouldn’t be suspended, it’s that he’s being over suspended due to lack of competence of the crew and a somewhat arbitrary rule that you can’t go back to review the punch. If the play is reviewed and acted upon, his punishment is equivalent to any other player who does the same (gone for the rest off the game and FTs). But because the refs did not bother to investigate why a player was doubled over in pain…and once they realized what happened they could not act, the league steps in and Buddy ends up getting suspended for an entire game. Those punishments aren’t equal…and in his mind, unfair. The ACC could have come out and said, due to the circumstances of the game,Buddy should have been thrown out at that point…as such. we are suspending him for the first half of the next game. [/QUOTE]
