On Trevathon, he should be penalized according to the schedule. If it’s a first or second offense, a fine, if it’s more then suspension. Burfict was fined the first 3 times, suspended 1 game, suspended 4 games and then 5 games (reduced to 3 on appeal)
Yet when Trevathon gets a one game suspension, half the people on this board will be crying that if it were Burfict, he would have been suspended for a lot more games, because (insert obligatory league hates us excuse here).
The reality is that it's true, and according to the schedule, rightly so. In fact, Burfict may have gotten off easier in the past than Trevathan will, comparing 1st offense to 1st offense. If anyone is going to compare punishments between Trevathon and Burfict, they need to either compare 1st offenses, or wait until Travathon is a 6 time offender, like Burfict.
But comparing Trevathon's punishment as a first time offender to Burfict's punishment as a multipule offender is comparing apples to monkey wrenches.
