LeGarrette Blount Suspended For Entire Season
Thank you to the University of Oregon for taking a stand and suspending Blount for the season. Yes, he was taunted, but he showed a complete lack of control and this suspension is deserving!
In case you missed last nights debacle, running back LeGarrette Blount threw a sucker punch at Boise State’s Byron Hout after the Ducks 19-8 loss against the Broncos. Can’t wait to see what the country has to say about this! Thoughts?
From ESPN:
Blount’s suspension includes any bowl games. Coach Chip Kelly said he will remain on scholarship.
Immediately following Boise’s 19-8 victory, ESPN showed Hout taunting Blount as the teams converged onto the field. As a Broncos assistant coach moved to separate Hout from Blount, the Oregon senior threw a right cross that connected with Hout’s right jaw. Hout went down and popped right back up.
“Under no circumstance is fighting acceptable,” the NCAA said in a statement Friday. “If it occurs before or during a game, the officials enforce the rules. If it occurs after a game, institutions and conferences decide how to address the situation. We trust our members to handle these situations appropriately. Sportsmanship is everyone’s responsibility, including student-athletes, coaches, officials, institutions and fans.
