Kaperneck = distraction and there are 40 other guys as good or better than him.
AB = Distraction and there might be 5 guys as good or better than him.
And I don't mean to distract from your point. What AB did will likely get him the boot regardless (because it is awful) but there isn't a vacuum weighing of the severity of their actions going on here, more just a balancing of the distraction (not accounting for the cause of the distraction, just the distraction itself) v. the ability of the player.
