Why was Kyle Long not ejected?

[Iron Lion]

He kicked someone during the scuffle... or am I missing something?

nope, you missed nothing, but the ref did, go figure

Yeah, he attempted to kick W. Hayes who was on the ground. I was really surprised to see Hayes and K. Long talking and shaking hands at the end of the game.

Because apparently no one saw it except for his brother Chris ironically enough lol. The refs were absolutely awful once again. They were slow to break up or end plays and made some horrible calls.

Big brother made sure lil Long made peace. It's an emotional game but the good players are able to back it down after the final whistle.

 

[Mister Sin]

If I recall, he attempted to kick but didn't land it.

 

[Angry Ram]

Yeah it didn't land...either was the kick was obvious and amazed he didn't get ejected. Ironically older brother throws a punch and gets kicked out.

 

[Mister Sin]

A punch that no one saw but the ref apparently

Something is seriously wrong with a person who would kick a man on the ground over a game.

That's because, Chris, the Godfather, told his "little" brother to make peace.

Read up on fight or flight.

I don't think the kick was really meant. Kyle Long doesn't seem like a dirty person/player and I think that half-hearted 'kick' was more of a frustration thing.

the way the anouncers were talking chris could have got ejected to

It's a physical game and tempers fly high.

 

[RamzFanz]

Professionals control their fight or flight. It's part of it.

It's about quite a lot more than a game when it comes to the NFL. Pop Warner, high school, your family turkey bowl that is just a game.

Yea I was worried about that too.

A well placed kick can destroy a player's season or even career. It's not acceptable. The known and necessary injuries are bad enough. Good thing he missed.

Oh I agree with that part but the "over a game" made it seemed trivial excuse me if I mis-read that part of your post.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Me; I found the Long vs Long story nauseating.

I could care less.
