I'm confident from the videos that both Green and Jones made intentional contact with frank and beans. I suppose there are different schools of thought on how significant a transgression that is, but in my view it doesn't even come close to warranting a suspension.
Hell, my HS coach literally taught us how to pop an opposing player in the nuts real quick to throw him off. Not straight up try to jack them or anything, but that isn't what Green or Jones did either.
Sidenote: I've never actually applied that lesson. I do think its dirty and uncalled for, and would never coach that technique myself or do it to an opposing player. But not everything that is dirty and uncalled for warrants a suspension.
The problem with this story is the respective treatment of Jones and Green. They should have received the same punishment, regardless of what it was.
