The fuck? I'm not looking to prove it. If he did it on purpose (only he knows...) its a fucking chicken-shit move and he shouldn't be in the league.
I have no idea what the fuck you are reading into my responses. Not looking to lawyer this; this is a character thing. If DK did it on purpose (again, only he knows) he is a fucked up person. I do not think he did it on purpose, but I don't know him personally.
While I don't feel anyone here needs to be called out and reprimanded (except maybe Snuggles), I do have to ask how you even question whether or not it was intentional or not at this point. ALL evidence clearly shows this is whole controversy is troll bullshit. So despite this evidence why do you feel it is still a possibility.
I got that. I do think boogie is 100% wrong on this. But I'm just asking why you are still questioning intent. After the evidence provided do you still feel it is more of a possibility that DK was trying to stomp on him, or is it more likey it is just a celebration flex that had nothing to do with the defender?
As a 49er fan, do you feel DK was trying to intentionally stomp on and injure Tartt, or was it incidental? Just your opinion on this.
I think it was accidental, and I think he should have recognized what he did at the time and apologized at the time. Stomping on an ankle doesn't feel the same as stomping on solid ground, but its certainly possible he wasn't aware of his surroundings. TBH, if that is the case (not aware of his surroundings) it is something that he really needs to work on. A lot of stupid/easy 15 yard penalties happen because of careless celebrations; if he was flagged there, we probably lose the game because we probably do not score a TD with how inept our offense has been, and if we don't score there, the rest of the game goes very differently (in a bad way for us), in all likelihood.
Fair enough. But since none of that actually happened (stomping on the ankle, getting penalized, etc.) this is only a wary note of caution due to some of DK's previous behavior with some added speculation.
Thank you. That is an honest response from a 49ers fan. Maybe this will cause some here to re-evaluate their stance.
Not to belabor the point, but the stomping on the ankle did happen; it just wasn't intentional. If you go to the point in the video that was posted earlier in the thread (5:38), it is easy to see that he did stomp on Tartt's ankle/foot. I think that if the ref actually saw it, intentional or not, it draws a flag. DK has an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, taunting penalty and and ejection this year already, and has appeared at risk of the 1st two multiple other times... so to me a discussion of those types of risky moves is pertinent to discussion of the Hawks.
I think you and others who claim it was a stomp on the ankle need to check it again. I've watched it about 20 times and there is minor contact in which the side of DK's foot slides off of Tartt's heel. It came nowhere close to the ankle and I wouldn't consider it a "stomp on the ankle" unless the ankle was underneath the foot and a follow through of force into the ground. None of that happened.
Same here. There is some discussion and controversy on the reddit thread also but it honestly seems to be about a 70%/30% split in favor of this being nothing of interest even with the trolls automatically trying to conflate it.
He has gotten penalized for taunting a few times earlier in the year, which was unnecessary, and he has shown a penchant for minor confrontations in the heat of the moment stuff. He tends to let his emotions get the better of him but I think that will level off with a bit more experience.
