Well there is a big difference between a thrown punch, sucker punch or not, and a guy skating across the ice and hitting a guy across the head with a hockey stick, would you agree.
I think when ever you step on to the pitch, you should expect that players could go over the line when playing a physical game, over the line being a thrown punch. But a thrown punch in a soccer game does not deserve the same punishment that a thrown punch on the street would get.
I would think a player going over top of the ball in an attempt to hurt or take out a player is far worse than a punch that is thrown because a guy losses his cool in a game.
