Bravo could have won his case on a technicality if indeed he was charged with verbally abusing the player.
Most likely he nouned or adjectived abused him .
Lets say he called him a stupid prick .. stupid is an adjective and prick is a noun .
A verb did not fit in the equation

and on no one who fights back..principally or otherwise.
I will judge only when the world is fair, that the people have made it fair and in the process proved themselves to be capable of judging each other fairly, by the construction of a fair world....making decent democratic society
Any forms and different packaging of racism is unacceptable.
I believe the quarters the unjust criticism bravo has coming his way in this forum may not necessarily be from an ethnic view point rather a border, and insular perspective.
A tit for tat approach might have been adopted for the manner in which Vivian conducted himself during his tenure, alienating the East Indian population. However it would be infantile to carry this on from a humanity perspective bout also on a generation far removed from Vivian's blatant racist attitude.
I see no reason from Bravo to be chastised this way and I suspect the views are limited to a few in this forum.
As I have said before, we do not have discussions here anymore.......
I think these rules are ridiculous to begin with. They are playing a competitive sport and it is expected that there will be some banter. I don't have a problem with trash talk on the field as long as it is not personal and doesn't include profanities. What do they expect the players to do?, be silent or encourage the opponents?
