[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 871776, member: 73648"] 2 years minimum four years max... condition that he go through a certain amount of counseling before he would return to game at some point increasing the length of the suspension doesn't really do anything do discourage behavior and is just the punisher showing what he can do... like what 18 year old that isn't deterred by a 4 year suspension is gonna be deterred by a 10 year one if australia has a history of filing criminal charges in on field incidences then i hope they do press charges... in america there seems to be some type of idea that when you cross the white line you are no longer protected by the justice system but rather the organizing body my issue is that what would people want the suspension to be if there was a player from the opposing team standing next to the ref and he threw the punch at the opponent when it comes to violent actions that have no place in the game... i.e. coldcocking, eye gouging, certain types of kicks, etc,. it shouldn't really matter who you do it since assault and battery is assault and battery no matter who the victim is. assigning different punishments based on the status of the victim is something that i don't think should be accepted by society.
