A 2 game suspension is a slap on the wrist and it won't send a message.  A 12 month suspension would send a message.

2 games in absolutely not enough. There is no doubt of his intent, this is blatantly deliberate no excuses. And I must say the commentators do not try to give him an excuse or an out, so good job on their part.

"Good kid, bad decision" is how they said the coach spoke about it.  So what? It was intentional.  Bad decisions are made all of the time, but the consequences should be much more than suspended games.  I'm glad the ref took charge like he did, but maybe it's better if we just lie on the ground/floor etc (like soccer players do).  Make a big deal of it, make sure he's not hurt, and then make the punishment much more severe.

Fair or not, sometimes one bad decision and a momentary lapse of judgment can last a life time. I know this first hand.

This is a concept that many seem to want to keep athletes especially insulated from and in a way it does them a disservice.

Not saying he should be banned for life but 4 was not enough. When it comes to sports officials being assaulted, there are a lot of apologists out there.
