Ronnie Phillips is a guest blogger and welcomes your feedback.The University of Oregon has reinstated suspended running back LeGarrette Blount 2 days after getting beat by previously unranked Stanford.
Oregon head coach Chip Kelly suspended Blount for the rest of the season after he punched Boise State defensive end Byron Hout after Boise State beat Oregon in the season opener. Blount tirade continued as he tried to jump in the stands and tried to fight the Boise State fans.
Now Chip Kelly has changed his mind. How can the Pac 10 allow Blount to be reinstated? He has absolutely ZERO class for sucker punching Hout and even worse, he is trying to beat up the average 165 pound Boise State fans in the crowd!
The NCAA has done an absolutely terrible job this year in disciplining athletes. You mean to tell me it’s ok to punch someone after a game and be able to play again in that same year? It’s ok to try and gouge the eyes out of another player? But Dez Bryant gets suspended for the rest of the season for lying to a group of people about a rule that wasn’t even broken? Are you kidding me? What kind of example are we setting for kids out there? It’s ok to be a thug , but the good guy will never get to play college football again at OSU.
This is Kelly’s first season as Oregon head coach, and he needed to put his foot down and say this will not be tolerated at the University of Oregon. Instead, he is turning into another Urban Meyer and would rather win football games than doing the right thing! Kelly will lose respect because of the decision to bring back Blount.
