What I'm saying is that what he did in college has nothing to do with anything. The only thing that matters is each play and whether an actual foul was committed. There can't be one set of rules for him and another for everyone else, plain and simple. Why are you so against Burfict?
I'm not actually against Burfict. I actually like him.
I'm trying to be objective.
I think the maddening thing with the NFL is a guy like Mike Mitchell for the Steelers goes head hunting every week and doesn't get called. What do they need to do though, make personal fouls reviewable? Allow someone from the booth to be able to throw flags?
The game happens so quick and fans receive the benefit of replays on TV from different angles.
I think that any time he does something, due to his reputation he will be assumed guilty? Is this fair? No. But he did earn this reputation by having an extreme amount of personal fouls at every level of football.
And yes...there appears to be inconsistencies in officiating in every sport. Superstar calls in the NBA. Good pitchers getting a wider strike zone in MLB. Obstruction calls in hockey when someone touches a superstar.
Sports definitely aren't fair.
