A rugby player has been
jailed for 15 moths after stamping on his opponent during a match, presumably deliberately. Whilst this act is highly contemptible, why is the same ruling not implemented in other sporting circles? Water Polo? Football? How about a vicious 50/50 tackle in the midst of a Premiership derby - is that illegal? I presume so, if harm was intended. And, in that case, why was Roy Keane not brought to justice after his self-confessed, pre-empted stamp? Not only did he never face court ruling for this loathsome action, he made profit from the publicity he gained as a biographer. Or am I falling into the non-contact debate?
Edit:
Perhaps they all just need to calm down.
