Football

Jaw it was a godawful decision, I'm no apologist for the "he's not that type of player" witterings, but that tackle was neither malicious or dangerous, reckless slightly, but if you go zero tolerance on all forms of tackling the game is poorer for it.

And that game overcame the idiocy of the ref's decision to actually still be compelling and close fought..

What would the consequences have been hadn't Nani jumped up to get out of that tackle, my best guess is that he would now be nursing a broken leg. Two feet, studs up challenges ought to be eradicated from the game and IMHO the only way to do it is by sending off any player who goes in like that. I'm sure if the player in question (Nani) would have been Modric/Bale/vd Vaart your view would be slightly altered.
