Well credit to Kyle Stahl for not loosing his rag and beating that ballon heads' face in! Can't say that I, or many people i know, would have not flipped for that.
Damn unnecessary.

Cheers baca.....did Kyle take it any further?

And what WAS the punishement dished out to Chris in the end.......if any?

"Pinchaaay!"
No, at first I'm not sure Kyle even knew exactly what happened and we certainly didn't. It happened at the far corner of the field from our pit and the X blocked our view. All I saw were red flags going up so I ran out to see what was going on and when the ultimate explained the penalty he failed to characterize the complete nature of the offense. By the time we understood just what had happened LaSoya was no where to be found.
The league penalty was a 5 minute major and a game suspension. Since it happened in the first half the suspension was served by sitting out the remainder of that match.
The Oakland organization also suspended Chris for the first match of Vegas and Infamous sat him in HB (apparently.) In the public statements the Oakland camp put out they made it sound like Chris had personally apologized and that the HB sitting was part of their tough stand against Chris's conduct. I have no knowledge of Chris actually apologizing and heard that the HB sitting was due to another matter entirely.

Afterwards I objected strenuously with the NXL commish to what I believed was a failure to take a tough enough stand particularly in light of the fact we received exactly the same penalty later in that match for telling a ref to f*** off and pulling away when the ref physically grabbed our player. Obviously what my guy did was wrong but for the league to treat them identically was ridiculous.
