It always amazes me how differently people can interpret the same video evidence. Let's just say I respestfully disagree with you concerning Norman and leave at that. Much like Arizona never getting offensive holding called against them. It's what the NFL wants and Seattle needs to figure out a way to overcome it once again.DavidSeven":1jxu0t0l said:I watched that whole game, and Beckham was out of control. He threw punches on nearly every play where he was visible on the broadcast copy. He was primarily targeting Norman but he was throwing shots at others too.
The refs lost control of this game. I was stunned by how much he got away with. 3 personal fouls wasn't enough, and he absolutely should have been ejected.
Norman certainly baited him, but Beckham took it too far and the refs were insanely irresponsible for letting it continue. I imagine Beckham gets a 1-game suspension, but he probably deserves at least 2 games based on what he did throughout the whole game.
kearly":116ayzp4 said:I would be a little surprised if Beckham is suspended. Not that he doesn't deserve it, but he is arguably the biggest star in the league outside of QB, and big stars tend to get star treatment.
And I know this is sad, but next week is the fantasy championship week. And Beckham is one of the highest scoring players in the game this year. Given the huge popularity of fantasy football and the positive effect it has had on the popularity of the sport, I would be surprised if it didn't factor at least a little. These two factors might also help explain why Beckham was never ejected from the game despite being clearly out of control.
I'm not saying that Beckham's fantasy value is the reason why he wasn't ejected, but I do think fantasy value is likely a contributing factor to how much star treatment a player gets.
