I'm arguing with the people that have been claiming that the open palmed stiff arm to the face mask was a "jab to the throat". THAT is what I'm arguing and have been arguing. I have never claimed that there isn't a possibility of what Cooper did after the end of the clip and that's not what I've been refuting.

I was told that the stiff arm was a "punch/jab to the throat". There is video evidence saying otherwise. People are still refusing to admit they were wrong.

Whether Jones should have done something about it between the whistles or as he did is an entirely different discussion. I'll happily agree to disagree on that portion of it. I'm not going to agree to disagree on something that's factual based with video evidence, and I'm not going to be told that I'm "not truthful" because I refuse to lie about something that I can see with my own eyes in a video clip. It's sad that people can't just own up to something when they're wrong around here. I've done so myself plenty of times, especially when someone posts video proof.

Gotcha....as I said earlier.....I hadn't read through all of the replies here, and I would take your word that was indeed the case.  I've never known you to be dishonest on anything you post.  Confrontational and combative?  You betcha!   .....but not dishonest.

This post makes it clearer for me now....I was under the impression that you were arguing that there wasn't the potential for a punch to the neck area at all, instead, you guys are arguing about WHEN it may have happened.  You'll have to forgive me....been a crazy week at work...30 hours in two days, plus the regular 10 all the rest.  I'm starting to run on fumes....my mind isn't grasping simple concepts....lol.

I played up through the high school level....I can certainly understand the anger and high emotion that led Jones to do what he did.  It may have been over the top....but I can relate to where he's coming from....the intensity at this level must be unimaginable.

EDIT: You mean we ain't buddies? :frown:
