POLL Should Aaron Donald have been ejected yesterday?

[Peter Gozintite]

Only thing i saw was him not let go. The shovel/heave was exvessive, but not ejection worthy. He held on too long, and if he lets go, it all ends when he lets go. He could have several times. That whole thing ends the second he shoves him away and lets go.

Devonta Freeman and Aaron Donald got in a skirmish yesterday, if you can call it that. Freeman was ejected for throwing a punch at Donald. Prior to that, Donald lifted Freeman up like a small boy and clearly escalated the situation.

With the punch, you have to eject Freeman...but should Donald have been ejected as well? Here’s the video.

Devonta Freeman Ejected For Punching Aaron Donald After Donald Hoisted Him Up Like A Child

This is the NFC West. We play big boy football here. If you cant handle it, get the fuck out.

Fighting isn’t part of football, tough guy.

Did Aaron throw a punch.

No.

Why do players still continue to throw punches at players still wearing their helmets?

 

[The Oldtimer]

No.

Then why would the refs throw Donald out of the game? Aaron did get an unnecessary roughness penalty.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe, did Freeman throw the punch when Donald let go?

Yes, and he should be suspended for the remainder of the year

Guys do what Donald did in virtually all of these "after the whistle scrums". So no, he shouldn't be ejected. The punch was a joke and literally meaningless but it is consistent with the rules as they are called. Take the swing and you are gone. It's like a drunk trying to land a haymaker in the bar. The bouncer is going to boot him out whether he hits anything or not.

I’ve never seen a player continuously lift another player off the ground like that.

Watch some of these scrums a little closer. Maybe not quite as long but no name Olinemen do it almost every time.

Watch the video, Im not morgan freeman here to narrate the fucking thing for you.

 

[eaglesnut]

Should have tossed that little tosser.

I know it's in the heat of the moment but come on dude, use your head

That was big boy football Seattle was playing against the Ravens?

Interesting.

No kidding. it's almost as stupid as throwing a punch at Aaron Donald.

Aaron be like, "Got some skeeters in here. Shoulda brought a can of Raid."

Of course there is fighting in football. The OL versus the DL is a 60 minute fight. You got your grandma's flag football team confused with the NFL, bro. But I know your type. You want to SJW the hell out of the NFL until there is no contact left at all. Then it will be just like your grandma's flag football team.

Refresher for you and your kind: Football is violent. Sorry if that hurts your feelings. Perhaps you would be more comfortable watching golf or tennis. Maybe curling.

Gollum from Lord of the Rings does!
