Now if he dives on a pile and hits a guy who already down? That is intent to injure using a weapon. what happened was a stupid/bad move while making a tackle on a guy who was making a move.
Burfict does stuff AFTER the play. He does stuff away from the play. He does stuff that legitimately hurts the team. There is no comparison.
Again Burfict brought the attention on himself for the stuff he does outside the whistles. That's different.
The first season, Burfict did stupid stuff away from the play and I have said that already in this thread.
Since the ball taps and ankle twists however, there is an absolute comparison. Shazier spears Gio, intent to injury 100%, no other reason to hit like that. While Gio is laid out, Shazier dances at midfield and laughs and giggles.
Shazier tries to maim another player, hurts himself thankfully instead of someone else. No one danced, no one acted like an ass clown, but they had every right too.
Trade jersey on the two guys and one would be a hard nosed guy in pitt the other the dirty guy from Ohio State playing in Cincinnati. The narrative is what it is, and they are both dirty rather you like it or not.
