I completely understand that, it was a total circus and the guy sold it, at the same time Rooney kicked a guy for no reason. One is assault and one is a dangerous tackle.

I completely agree that some of these tackles need to start deserving more severe punishment, these tackles are breaking people's legs, but again, you're comparing two very different types of offences.
