[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 960845, member: 55747"] Read's the biggest one for me, by a mile. Most of the ones mentioned here are about tackles, high tackles. Granted, some of them were wrong, should have been spotted and should have been carded on the spot. But again, they are about, excuse the euphemism, poorly executed tackles. Extremely poorly executed, granted. Read's is a completely different animal. He grabbed a player from behind, from the players head, while the other player was running, and pulled him with force to the ground. They guy didn't have the ball. They wasnt even about to get the ball. His team wasnt even contesting the ball. The ball was in Read's team possession (this is relevant because it disqualifies Read's actions as a tackle). In this day and age, i refuse to believe no one related to whoever is in charge of citings was made aware of the incident. I dont buy it. I am not stating any conspiracy theory and i couldnt give a flying turd about what jersey he is wearing. I am just saying that what he did was not just wrong, but tremendously so, and it is just inexplicable given the technology and media available today that he got away with it. [/QUOTE]
