Brandon Spikes Gouges Opponents Eyes
We have heard for years how ugly it can get in a football pile and here is the evidence. Beyond the idea of sportmanship and The Golden Rule, this offense doesn’t even seem to be taken that serious. At the moment he is only being suspended for One. Half. One. How dumb is that?
“I don’t condone that,” Meyer said. “I understand what goes on on the football (field), but there’s no place for that. We’re going to suspend Brandon for the first half of the Vanderbilt game. I spoke with him. That’s not who he is. That’s not who we are. He got caught up in emotion.”
Really? You don’t condone that? What the hell does a suspension of half a game say? And that is utter crap saying, “That is not who he is.” He wasn’t fishing around for Nemo in that guy’s helmet.
“I don’t think that we did anything in that game that they didn’t do,” Tebow said Monday. “If you go back and look at it and study it, you can see it in the film, too. It was an intense game, both teams were very passionate about it.”
An eye for an eye? No. Spikes should get suspended for many games. This penalty says do it, if you get caught it won’t be that bad.
Remember LaGarrette Blount from the beginning of the season?
Blount was suspended for the entire season. His punch on the player who slapped his shoulder and seemingly taunted him deserved at least a game suspension. He crazy antics towards his own team, fans, and others showed a lack of control and I think he deserved a year suspension.
If the punch at least equaled a game suspension, how does eye gouging not get a similar penalty?
Dumbelievable.
How many games should a player be suspended for brown eye gouging?
