If this is indeed the way penalties are inforced after the fact ( I will take your word ) then I would say that the by-laws may need to be re-evaluated. In a nut shell one could take this as ( especially young adults in a physical contact sport) "might as well act on something ( illegal physical contact of any sort) rather than opening my mouth ( cursing, arguing, ect.) because the repercussions are the same. A cuss word can slip out of ANYONES mouth or argue something they feel is unjust especially in a heated circumstance, that is human nature but I aint buying someone let a fist slip or fall in the category of human nature. This is where judgment of an official comes in what he or she may feel is offensive verbally you and I may not which is fine, however balling a fist, biting, kicking ect. are not a judgment call, either it happened or it didnt (no grey area ). Yes, I agree ALL of those things ( physical or verbal ) are not right in any manner, but I am a realist and if people "knew" that their actions carry the same long term penalities as their words it opens the door for some to take advantage of what I would concider to be a loop hole and that is unfortuate but true.
