he could die or be seriously injured and people would say its just part of the game.

Are you paid millions of dollars to tackle other people who are paid millions of dollars to avoid tackles? Do you regularly have inter company competitions that afford you the opportunity to tackle coworkers from other offices? Have you ever been in a heated physical contest that you were paid millions of dollars for, with millions of people watching? Nope. 

Why do some of you constantly compare the NFL to your job. They're not comparable on any level, other than you both get paid, but that's tenuous at best.

As expected no douche bag Steelers suspended.

What's getting lost in all this 'brawl' discussion is that the Steelers were getting their asses beat the entire game...by the Browns! How the mighty have fallen. Couldn't have happened to a bigger bunch of shitheads.

Is Pouncey a not-douche-bag Steeler?

I have not seen any more suspensions. What did he get? Not to mention their QB was the one that started the whole thing.

Was mentioned on the first page.  Reportedly 3 games.

Well in hockey which equally physical players have been criminally charged for hitting someone in the head with stick. Same thing and more severe punishment

So he gets 3 games for jumping on a player, punching him, and kicking him while Garrett gets suspended indefinitely. No favoritism there. None at all.

if there was any I don't think that suspension indicates it.  The situation was such that 3 games seems fair for Pouncey, and indefinitely is appropriate for Garrett as I suspect his reinstatement will be granted in the offseason.

So you can punch and kick someone on the ground and only get 3 games. While swinging a helmet is that's much more horrible it gets indefinite. Or just maybe the NFL wants to make sure the Browns don't beat the Steelers twice. Seems so if Pouncey gets 3, Rudolph gets nothing, and the Browns lose their player for this season and probably a few games next season.

Seems fair? By what twisted logic? He sucker punched Garrett, multiple times, then kicked him in the head, for something Garrett did to another player. If you want to get tough on player fights after the whistle, suspend them both. Stop with this, "he was just being a good teammate!" nonsense. A good teammate would have made sure they were properly separated, and kept his yappy dog QB from coming after Garrett after Garrett had been pulled away.

That wasn't the point of my comment. However, there is plenty of violence in hockey that goes unpunished off the ice. Either way, my/your job, and that of a professional athlete playing a violent sport, are in almost no way comparable.

Exactly all three should have been suspended but the NFL wants to make sure the Steelers have a chance at the playoffs like every year. While punishing the Browns for beating them.
