When is it ok to hate Burfict?

Yeah, first I wouldn't cheer it, like good that it happened, he deserved it. I could be sadder for some players then for others of course, and some things might even be more understandable then others. But as soon as people come out in favor of a cheap shot and celebrate it + possible injuries resulting, there's where they lose me.

No, they can't claim it. Karma hasn't materialized itself in the form of a classless player. It was Juju, not fate. That's just ridiculous.

Much of Burficts fouls are on eye pokes, ball taps and hand stepping... which I think isn't nearly as bad as headshotting... I can really only remember him maliciously hitting AB, but I may have blinders on... not sure... Feel the Bengals in general get a lot of calls where they weren't really targeting at all.

Nah, Burfict pretty much deserves a bad image. One could argue about the extent, but overall he's not an innnocent man. I don't feel like factchecking that out, someone else sure will be so kind.
