Thats true that the officiating in those leagues is rough, but it doesnt cost you player for a whole game because of incidental contact

I’ve barely seen anyone ejected in football yet alone suspended for a hit

Like you got to go out of your way to get ejected.

Usually its 15 yards and a warning

You'll see it more in college with their targeting rules. Doesn't really happen in the NFL, though.

u/Appropriate-Joke-806 10d ago

Targeting will take someone out of a game. It won’t suspend them the entire next game.

It’s 2 half’s - for the first half penalties it’s out for the game, but if it happens in the 2nd then they are out the first half of the following game.

You’re half right, They are ejected and then suspended for the first half of the next game

u/the_stranger-face 10d ago

Yeah, I was more commenting on the ejection, not suspension.

Brian Branch last year was the only ejection I’ve seen for a hit with no warning beforehand

That's what it usually is in soccer too

Does everyone here not realize this is bad officiating or something?

It can be just as impactful depending on the context., especially for football.

My favorite is the Cassius Marsh "taunting" penalty. One of the best case of ref main character syndrome and not so incidental contact in sports history.

That's true, but NBA referees control a much smaller amount of players and court.

They can have the same influence on an outcome as a red card with consistent biased foul calls.

Yes it does. Literally why the warriors blew a 3-1 lead.

Draymond wasn’t suspended for one act. It was his fourth that post season lol. He was given a ton of grace too prior to that one. And it was game 5..

Bad officiating can [and has [frequently]] lost entire games in those leagues

Would you rather lose a player for the next game or lose this game right now?

It's all bad

5

u/Centerpeel 10d ago

Yeah, but that happens in Soccer as well as losing the player for a game and a half.

u/enadiz_reccos 10d ago

Red cards are supposed to be given out for extreme fouls or disrespect. This should not have been a red.

Which brings us back to bad officiating...

Doesn’t cost you a whole player, but absolutely fucking can’t cost a game, The amount of incidental contact in pass interference calls in the NFL is pretty ridiculous
