Perhaps read what i have posted again.

The system in place results in a rough conduct charge being triggered because of an injury being sustained. It's a catch all offence.  Of course the consequence of an action has a bearing on the penalty, it always has influenced the duration of a suspension. It is just much more so in the case of rough conduct, hence all the angst.

I dont like the end result of 2 weeks for Gibbs, but it is result of the system in place and it is attempting to serve a broader purpose.

He hasn't been charged with rough conduct though has he? He's been charged with careless conduct. And the system is awful. Where there is no intent proven the consequence should not come into the equation.
