Ugh, I mean does he grab his shoulder? Yes, but the American makes a meal of it. No way that contact causes him to fall.
It's tough because it's a foul and he's the last man back so it should technically be a red, but that would be a HARSH red. I personally wouldn't give him a red for that.
EDIT: Full disclosure - this opinion brought to you by a CB that does that sort of stuff ALL the time.
