    I don’t know where you got the outraged part from my comment - I think we can make observations without such strong emotions?, especially when they don’t affect you personally.

      because you’re equating this with ball kicking, chest stomping, and backhands to the face. this is not even close to as bad as those things.

        I never really equated anything. I was more referring to the fact that he has so many incidents now, regardless of however they are “graded” on severity by anyone.

        Also, I just read your comment and had another look at the video again, and to me, whatever the lead up to the incident (with them being tangled/fighting for position) it looks to me that he makes a conscious effort to hook the neck, or at least prevent it from happening.

        Plus it’s to the neck/head area. Sports around the world are really clamping down on that kind of stuff, leading to players having to consciously avoid any such contact even if accidental.
