I'm very far from a sports fan....I literally do not watch any sports.

I don't get why he bothered to apologise, unless the video on stuff wasn't the entire incident..... He gives the guy a little ankle tap. From reading the apology, I thought he fucked him up, which is why I bothered to watch at all.

I guess he's probably just trying to front foot any criticism he might get. Not always easy to know how it will be perceived.

But yeah, hard to see how he did anything wrong. He tripped a guy who was being a dick.

Same. Just watched the video now, and that's so not worth anything. I thought he had fully bodied him. Seems SANZAAR opened a bit of an investigation and have since concluded that he's done nothing wrong - That might be a procedural thing though where they have to look at every incident such as this?

There's an angle from behind the posts which makes it look like a more aggressive chop than a foot-trip. I think the only reason for the apology was that it turned out to be a teenager and not your normal adult pitch invader.
