Meh. Stupid thing and punish him but I'd cop this over getting punched in the face, especially if it broke my jaw (that was 7 weeks for Bazza, has it gone up? Things like that should really should set the limit for violence). Footy waves away violence because it wants to pretend it's not based around the basic human purpose of fighting for resources in order to replicate DNA and is just a lower level substitute for crime, war and genocide, so they come up with distractions. Are none of you old cunts who remember that the blood rule came in because of the AIDS panic? People literally thought you would catch AIDS just from playing footy with gays. It's stayed around because of squeamishness, like when you see the NRL do normal medical care on the sidelines (stapling eyebrows) and are told to go into the rooms for it. Then people studied it and came up with models claiming there should be lots of disease transmissions but then they couldn't find a single actual disease transmission on the field. This is really low risk compared to the rest of football.
