Kevin Love face stomp on Scola

Any thoughts? The forum was full of comments when Suh did something similiar in pads. A two game suspension seems weak considering Suh got two NFL games.

Love face stomp

Not defending Kevin Love at all, but there's some bad blood between him and Scola.

Kevin probably remembers this. Ouch!

At least Scola seemed concerned when Love went down, while Love stepped on Scola and just kept going. Another example of sportsmanship in professional sports.

The play was stopped after Scola's cheap shot and he just leaned over Love for a few seconds. Do you know what was said or thought by Scola during those few seconds? Love's cheap shot was somehow missed by the refs and the play was ongoing. Do you really think any player would stop play and own up to their foul?

jm2300- obviously you were looking at another video of the so called "cheap shot". And, no, I don't know what Scola may have said or thought, but at least he seemed concerned. Meanwhile Love appeared to care less about Scola. Your last sentence is a testament to the mind set of the majority of professional athletes. The "win at any cost" actions and mentality is wrong on so many levels. Rules were meant to be followed. Only cheaters break and ignore the rules, and then cry when they get called for breaking the rules I am always amazed at the number of "fans" who support the actions of these goons. I guess there are only so many David Robinson's, Barry Sanders and Nolan Ryan's in professional sports. The saying of "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out" appears to be the direction most professional sports are embracing - a pathetic but factual description of modern day "professional athletes".

I was watching the same video as you Dr. He turned and aimed for the area. I bet if play hadn't been stopped when Scola threw the ball his concern would have come later rather than sooner. And what does just singling out professional athletes have to do with it? Things like this go on in all levels of sport. Pros more, but it still happens elsewhere. Nolan Ryan could throw a baseball over a 100 mph. Do you think he was being Mother Theresa when he played a little chin music with a batter? It's wrong at all levels, but it goes with the game(s). I'm going to let the officials handle the problems and not put it on such a grand scale.

I'm through.

jm2300- You are correct about things like this going on in all levels of sport. Charles Barkley was wrong when he said that athletes are not "role models". Kids emulate their sports idols and professional athletes are demonstrating this type of behavior at an ever increasing rate and level. I pointed out a few of the really great athletes that did not lower their standards as athletes and were able to have great careers without resorting to the present day mind set that seems to be ever present throughout sports. Letting the officials handle the problems sounds great, but in reality, that is not happening.
