Could someone help me understand:

a) Knowing your team of *professionals* tried to dish out career/health threatening injuries for extra money = year suspension. Also, people saying this is "too severe" of a punishment, as he's being made an example of in light of all the concussion talk.

b) Knowing your team of *students* gave out worn jerseys for extra tattoos = loss of job. Also, people saying the punishment was not severe enough and the school should suffer the "death penalty", thus losing the ability to even have a football team because of it.

I know the leagues are different, but something has to be said for our sports culture when college kids doing something stupid for money or benefits is seen worse than people who are supposed to be pros getting extra cash to try and hospitalize another man.
