My plea for a factual explanation of how TM7 hit on Dre was Dirty/Flagrant

The only reason I bring this up is because I still see bama fans grumble about it often, and write off TM7 as a "POS thug" who doesn't deserve awards, because of that play.

I'd really love to hear bama fans actually explain with the evidence why they see it as a dirty play, and not just moan and call everyone who disagrees a pathetic loser or POS. I don't think you will, because I don't see how you can.

The video shows TM hit Dre across the chest and then grabbed his shoulder. It happened in less than a second in real time, but it was a clear hold. If you notice when TM goes to the sideline toward Les, he makes the motion of reaching across to the chest, as if to say "I was doing this technique" (33 seconds in). That shows the obvious lack of intent to be dirty, but rather to try to make a play after being beat.

The only thing I will say about Dre's reaction is that it looked a little more dramatic than what is expected of someone who plays a game that involves several bodily collisions a game.

Here is the video. Tell me where I am wrong.

My other question is, what was the diagnosis of his injury? People said it was a concussion, but considering he played the following week against a team who was not a serious threat, it's hard to believe that's what it was. Was that overblown to make the play seem worse than it was?

I'm aware bama fans think this is the worst thread ever and it's prob in tl;dr area. But the attitude about this really does bug me.
