i know they are allowed to touch them to break up fights, but wrapping arms around a players neck is never acceptible. thats why i related a simple shove warranting a fine as being similar to the ref choking a player.
If a player shoves a ref there's no doubt the intent, but if a senior citizen aged ref tries to break up a fight between roid players it doesnt necessarily mean it was purposeful if they use any means necessary sometimes with the situation dictating what's necessary. I know he had a previous incident I just dont see why he would purposefully want to choke anybody? Im sure this is mainly Goodel wanting to look good for the Player's Association.
