seanwestref wroteWhat about the example this shows thousands (minimum) of youth players, who see this happen and no penalty assessed? I agree about the officials knowing what is incidental and what is intentional, but players have been ejected for far less contact. Despite what I think about lack of ejection, I expect a fine to be forthcoming.
The NFL, and other professional leagues, can't be fully concerned about what some youth player might do in their game. There's a lot of trash talking and gesturing and gamesmanship and communication/questing of officials that is allowed at the professional level that isn't allowed in the amateur level...so that reasoning for whether a call should be made or not means absolutely nothing to me, as far as what happens at a higher level.
As to the play in question, I wouldn't expect an ejection in an NFL game...a flag at most, but no ejection.
