How about that?
Charles Mammie got a one-game suspension for subsequently kicking Adamson's Roider "I Don't Hesistate" Cabrera while Jeff Javillonar, the UAAP's most famous villain so far, got slapped a warning when he shoved down Jeric Teng, subsequently injury the shoulder of the latter while giving a free lane to the former.
I ask, why only give Javillonar a warning? I mean, there was the karate chop on Nico Elorde, which bled profusely before miraculously stopping. It's not like this was his first booboo as opposed to Charles Mammie. A three game suspension for such a bush league act may be sever, but maybe a two game suspension is a good compromise. Come on, this guy has been attested to such dirty plays by former RP Youth U-16 teammates of his like Kiefer Ravena and Jeric's very furious brother, Jeron (who has his own problems, but that's for later).
If you've seen the slo-mo, then you can swear off there was a follow-through on the push. You don't follow-through on an accidental bump, you stop yourself. Why? If you are sensible enough, you know that you would merit a whistle. That's why you put your hands up, but this guy? Nah. All bush league on ya Jeric Teng!
Then there's brother Jeron Teng. That punch to Newsome's face? Pretty much bush league too! Ain't that ironic. Before swearing off, I guess he should've checked himself first and say hey, I punched Newsome in the face but I got away with it while this guy who shoved my brother deserves a suspension. Hey, a punch is a punch. Both of you warranted some time off the court.
Keep it clean guys. Don't go bush league on me now.
Courtside Spotter, out.
