Now there are some other interesting comments that you bring up. The impression by administrators that Soccer is the sport with the most fouls, ejections and violence. Hmm, most fouls? I find that position difficult considering basketball gets 5 fouls before someone fouls out. Soccer only gets 2 before you are ejected so how can soccer have more fouls. As to ejections of course soccer has more ejections because they are allowed only 2 fouls. BTW in football you can commit as many fouls as you like until your coach pulls you out because your team lost so much yardage. As to the most violent I guess we need a definition of violence because football's very existence is predicated on violence.



Actually, I think I counted 42 fouls in the Airport/B-C match where someone posted the stats. That's a lot. What was it...2 coaches ejected but since they weren't playing, that wouldn't go into the foul count.

What gets me is how players can commit flagrant fouls in other sports, be ejected but their position is replaced. What would it be like it a football player was ejected from a game for accumulation of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and they had to play a man down the rest of the game.
