I go to DC United games whenever I get the chance. Tickets are a bit expensive for a college student so I usually watch them on TV.

It's completely fucked up. Just looking at the face expression of the players on the pitch, tells enough of the horror... I just read a Wenger interview in which he's saying how do you prepare a 19 year old kid to come on the pitch again, after such an injury? All I can say is in-fucking-deed. Something's gotta be done. Give them 15-games suspensions, even though it isn't intentional, it's still fucking gruesome.
Indeed they need to be punished.
All i keep reading is things like, how Shawcross is going to get over this, how he doesn't have a malicous bone in his body, how the tackle wasn't intentional and wasn't malicious and how he was crying out of regret after the tackle. Well boo fucking hoo, he's going to be back playing in 3-4 weeks while poor Aaron is going to spend the next 13-14 months in rehab. So frankly i couldn't give a flying fuck about Shawcross.
Of course he didn't intend to break Aaron's leg, i mean he isn't a phsycopath. But dangerous, clumsy and irresponsible tackles like these should be punished. He should get half a season on the sidelines at the very least. Its only fair.

It's not fair.
You can't punish a guy just because of the consequences.
Tackles worse than the Shawcross one are put in every week, but don't cause serious injury.
At least what Shawcross did was an attenpt to play the ball, even if it was overly aggressive.
In some ways the challenge by the Arsenal player (Galllas?) against Bolton, immediately before Arsenal scored was worse; he was miles away from the ball and just stood on the Bolton player's ankle.

At one point, West Ham were spending a whopping 80% of their turnover on wages.

No wonder EPL teams are in serious trouble if they are doing stupid things like that.
