| Eugene, Oregon Sept 5 2009 I can understand that football is a game of skill, talent and agression. There are rules of how the game is to be played and there likewise are rules pre and post game. College football is played with the understanding of those rules in most cases. It's not a game without emotions just ask Miami and FIU but to avoid bench clearing brawls there are sanctions and penalties in place to contain behavior and fights. Had the incident happen during the game, LeGarrette Blount would have been suspended for 1 game per NCAA rules but that's not withstanding the additional rules that each school has in place. I examined what I could in the way of video, pictures, etc as to how and why list even took place, this all started when Bryon Hout slaps LeGarrette Blount on the shoulder and it was not a tap but rather a slap-push in my opinon. We know the result.. The Boise Fans: Well that speaks for it's self, some thought it was real funny. The Legal Aspect Courtesy Wikipedia: "Assault is a crime of violence against another person. In some jurisdictions, including Australia and New Zealand, assault refers to an act that causes another to apprehend immediate and personal violence, while in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, assault may refer only to the threat of violence caused by an immediate show of force.[1][2] Assault is often defined to include not only violence, but any
physical contact with another person without their
consent." |
