What started the fight? Name calling, a few words...? Unless Hill himself was actually struck first then it's bull shit and the guy needs to be removed from the team and locked up.
LOL really, so you condone hitting a guy from behind for being called names? I was taught stick and stones... I bounced for around 12-13 yrs and name calling never phased me. A guy could talk all the shit he wanted to to me, as long as he was going in the direction I wanted him to go. If he stopped or got in my face and put hands me then I ripped off his arm and beat him down with it. But name calling and shit talking should never be a reason to lay hands on anyone, that's the difference between being an adult and an immature moron undeserving of a free education.
Not proud of it but got in so many that on Monday morning the principal's daughter (who was one of the few who got there before me) would assume I'd gotten into one. She'd ask, "So, who did you fight with this weekend?" You rolled with me one night on the streets I grew up on and saw the level of respect I was given- we couldn't even pay for our hamburgers - so I doubt you were speaking to me. Nevertheless, I know street fights aren't meant to be "fair" just dont' expect feature football players to going running after trouble. Not even sure if the other guy who hit from behind was a football player.
Again, Hill hit no one from behind. Sometimes, people just need a good face-punching. Used to be you didn't call the cops when you got yours. You either fought back or STFU and learned your lesson.
Cell phone cameras have turned everyone into pussies. In college it was rare to go out in Tigerland and not see a fight. NBD, you rarely saw cops. Now everyone w/ that damn camera wants his minute of fame and sends the damn videos to the cops. Pathetic. I knew a lot of dudes who would pick fights with guys on the football team just to say they fought so and so from the football team. JH's punishment for this minor infraction (shoulda been non-event) should be handled in-house.
BULLSHIT. He was off to the victims side and he crow hopped him with a sucker punch. It appears to me that there was at least one other guy besides Hill and ripped shirt dude kicking the victim's ass. They should hope that the victim doesn't share my revenge mentality.
And I also agree with that... but one on one IF the dude put hands on you first and is a willing participant. Whether hit from behind or the side it was a bitch move. But I also agree shit happens... double edged sword here, Hill has been in trouble before (I know not at LSU), but still trouble is trouble and Hill needs to wise up, he needs to be doing it cleaner then the others around him. Since this is just one instance while at LSU I do believe he should be tended to in-house amd be given a secomd chance, but anymore BS and he should be shown the door.
