They have a right to keep an eye on
everyone. Everyone meaning every player on the field. And last I checked Burfict was an indeed a player so it certainly seems that they should have every right to keep an eye on him.
And just in case you were unaware, there is almost
always going to be one pair of eyes from the officiating crew on the ball carrier. So when you commit a penalty on that player there's a very good chance they're going to see it.
I've asked this a few times and I'm going try one last time, I even put it bold so your snarky ass can see it:
Do you have any proof whatsoever that they were singling Burfict out? You've now written that they have no right to do this or that, and you keep commenting how unfair it is to target him. What are actually you basing that idea on, outside of Burfict's qoute? Because if you're just speculating, how about throwing an "if" in there to preface some of these statements? You keep representing this idea as fact. I'd love to know why.
PS I really hope this wasn't too long for you. Even though you yourself have a post of similar length to the one of mine you sidestepped I just wanted to make sure this particularly one didn't pass your arbitrary vocabulary threshold.
