I think you were thinking of the term as referring to codes of conduct or something.<br /><br />In Australia at the moment retaliation against footballers (in all codes) for violence against women is extreme, whether proven by courts or not, trying to combat what is seen (fairly) as a large cultural problem. A minor ban like one game is simply unheard of since the bad old days.UnwiseOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09466448988499591715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-5942695941115619112010-03-15T18:15:36.086-07:002010-03-15T18:15:36.086-07:00You tell 'em.You tell 'em.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-60620471259569126492010-03-15T17:20:04.250-07:002010-03-15T17:20:04.250-07:00Go Beavs.Go Beavs.mrs.5000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-69183916669953230492010-03-15T17:04:25.356-07:002010-03-15T17:04:25.356-07:00For some reason I feel the only appropriate respon...For some reason I feel the only appropriate response to this is "LOL".Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529250478920225750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-21533425176444255892010-03-15T16:13:20.242-07:002010-03-15T16:13:20.242-07:00@UnWise, sis: Well, there aren't codes per se;...<b>@UnWise, sis: Well, there aren't codes per se; they do these things on a case-by-case basis. I don't know the details of the incidents, but on the face of it I have no trouble imagining a crime classified as a "burglary" that would be considerably more serious than a crime classified as an "assault"; both terms cover a lot of legal ground. Without further information, there's no reason to suppose that the penalties were out of proportion.<br /><br />Too, if the suspensions were reversed, it would be easy to point out the obvious corruption of the Quarterback's light penalty versus the less-important player's heavy penalty. In truth, I'm actually rather impressed by the University's reaction; grounding Masoli will likely convert what would have been a top-ten season into a mediocre one, at a cost of perhaps millions of dollars to the school.</b>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-21137664505917447322010-03-15T15:43:43.546-07:002010-03-15T15:43:43.546-07:00It's a sad indication of the attitude of the f...It's a sad indication of the attitude of the football codes when you see those kind of punishments.
