LeGarrette Blount punching Byron Hout (espn.com)
Oregon running back star, LeGarrette Blount was suspended yesterday after a punching a Boise State defensive end after a Thursday game. After a 19-8 loss to the Broncos, Blout threw a season-ending punch at Bronco defensive end Byron Hout just as Boise State began their celebrations. Hout reportedly hollared in Blount's face then tapped his shoulder pads. Before Hout could be restrained by head coach Chris Petersen, Blount had already brought him to his knees with a connection to the jaw. Blount is suspended from all games this season including bowl games. He will, however, remain on scholarship and continue to practice with the team. The Associated Press reported that the apparent instigator, Byron Hout, will not be suspended for taunting Blount. Boise State spokesman Max Corbet said in an e-mail that Petersen planned to use this week to help Hout learn from this incident.

typical. black guy throws a punch from the side and then runs away. what an idiot and i'm glad he is suspended the rest of the season. have fun on the sidelines.
This article seems biased. What a coward. The guy wasn't even looking at him when he got hit
I wonder if it would be "OK" for a white guy to hit a Black guy? It appears that he was actually assaulted first. "Typical Black guy?" - Californication seems a bit racist...
Every time someone has an opinion, people want to call it racist. Yall crazy black people make us normal black people look bad. Everytime someone has a different opinion...Oh that s-h*t is racism! Get over it! You are like the boy who cried wolf, the race card is old, get a new defense.
