Why is it that teams,Coaches, broadcasters, fans, owners, sponsors, and even law enforcement think that fighting on the field of play after the play is over , is OK?

[Advisor]

Why do people like Hockey? WWF? Nascar? Violence, baby, violence. Blood sells tickets.

Pretty scary. It's bad enough for a couple of guys to show poor sportsmanship. But clearing the bench for a brawl? Have they all got brain damage fromsteroids?

[covan]

As if anyone with helmets and lots of padding is going to get hurt. Let them brawl all they want.

Advisor is right, the fans want to see the blood.

Law enforcement should be out of the field of sports. If they were involved there would be no competitive sports.

The scary part is not that any of them are going to get seriously injured butmen that age can be so completely immature.

Thats the reason I don't go to a Hockey game. If I want to see a fight, I'll go to the fights, Fighting in Hockey is not what Hockey is about.
Just because the guys wear pads don't mean they can't hurt each other, Guys get carried off the field with injuries all the time during play.
The Brawl happened after the play was over and a whistle had blown the ball dead, This means that each of the blows was an assault, just as if they threw the blow in the parking lot. Pads don't protect you from a helmet being swung at your back, or a cleated shoe in the back or arm, or a kick to the head , or a stomp to whatever, or a punch to the face,each was plainly visible. I even seen one of the players swing at a coach that was trying to break it up.
There should have been 22 players on the field when this fight started, any player that came off the bench to get involved in the fight should be suspended for the rest of the season, any player that was part of the 22 that was involved in the fight should get What Miami gave there players , (1 game suspension) . Theres a lot of film to back up any accusation and they all wear numbers so it wouldn't be hard to figure out who was and was not supposed to be out there.
You have to be tough with animals or they just do whatever they want.
Either let Law enforcement handle as a riot, or suspend the ones involved, or give them all weapons and who ever is left will play next week.
After all If we aren't going to play by the rules of the game and the rules of law, just what are they out they for?

One word: Sensationalism

[WateringHole]

Take for example this character Romonoski or whatever his name is who played linebacker in the NFL for 15 years and was more of a cheap thug than a professional football player.
He broke other players fingers, cause another player to go blind, broke another players jar, then to "put the topping on the cake", he bragged about doing all those things in a book he wrote. Then he's allowed on all those different talk shows to get himself some free advertisement for his book.
To add insult to injury, the NFL allows these undesirables to continue playing in their league.
I always find it strange NFL players are not held to the same standards as lamon people who are ticketed for going 5 miles over the speed limit.

The NFL and College Football aren't and shouldn't be the same. NFL are professionals that do it for a living. The Law enforcement at a stadium is there because the stadium owners hired the law enforcement, its privet property and therefore unless a complaint is filed theres not much they can do. If a cop wants to and he see an assault happening he can take it upon himself to arrest the person doing the assault, that doesn't happen at a statium, maybe behind the stadium but not on the playing field.

College foot ball is in the same league as High school football, its still privet property but because they are not getting paid to do this, I think that Law enforcement should step in more often.
Theres no reason that a brawl should happen on a college football field just as a high school field, when it does happen it should be a law enforcement thing. and then a school discipline thing.

Professional players can do alot about after the whistle fighting on the field. Just as if someone in your work place was to start a fight with you, File assault charges on them, if injured, file a law suite . Theres no reason a small person should be intimidated by a big person, Thats prison mentality, (the strong survive) .
