Generalize much?
Sarcasm Fail much?
I have looked at all the tapes and have not seen or heard anything like that. I think you are making it up. Shame on you.
You're obviously lying here, as the post below you shows clear evidence of Blount being harassed. Shame on you.

Well a couple Boise State fans should not be allowed to return to that stadium, but Legarrette Blount had absolutely no business engaging them or going near them as he did.
What other choice did he have? That crowd gathered at the entrance to the locker rooms where Blount HAD to go specifically because they wanted him to have to at least hear them.
He obviously appears to be threatened with a chair,is taking some type of verbal abuse(although what is said is unknown) & seems to be struck by a fan(as he claimed) before he really became near uncontrollable.
Near uncontrollable? That's the line I heard over and over, and is the most irksome to me. I see Blount being bear hugged and hauled away
for his own protection, and everyone assuming he was going apeshit. Show me in that clip where Blount tries to throw a punch?
He does appear to be hit at the 1:39/2:00 minute mark by an enraged fan with the shades in his shirt who recoils back after he strikes Blount. That is when Blount really goes nuts, but there still is no excuse for his behavior since he shouldn't have gotten so close to the fans who were still in the bleachers.
Blount should have kept his helmet on & kept on to the lockerroom & let security handle those fans.
Again, I frankly see no evidence of him "going nuts". The man plays football for a living. If he were "going nuts" and was really intent on hitting someone, I'm pretty sure that couch restraining him wasn't about to stop him.
And once again I take issue with your framing of this as Blount seeking out that crowd for a confrontation when clearly it was the other way around.
Certainly ESPN playing it every ten minutes & MOST(not all analyst overreacted to the punch)analyst reaction didn't help the kid.
When kellen Houston( Nebraska) 'really' sucker punched a Mizzou fan who never even saw Houston ESPN analyst seemed to think it was kind of funny.:dunno: The Mizzou fan was even knocked uncouncious & it wasn't given nearly the same reaction as the short right cross of Blount.
Exactly. Thats what I find so disgraceful about all this. Houston served a
1 game suspension for sucker punching a
fan! Blount punched another play who was clearly instigating it (and I still hold he meant to punch him to his face, not a real sucker punch), and gets his fucking career ended! That is clear favoritism and sensationalism and if people can't see that then I can't make it any more clear.
At the end of the day though Blount has no one to blame but hmself. Despite what may have ben said or happened to him he should have reacted differently.
This is where we simply have a difference of opinion. This was the most emotional moment of this guy's life. He had huge pressure on his shoulders before the game, then lost, got harassed and punched someone, harassed again, all while knowing he was on national TV. Anyone who tells me they would have behaved better and reacted calmly and rationally is full of shit.
I'd like to congratulate you, girk1, on being the only one to make a real, reasoned response though. Other just made snide remarks or flipped their shit and neg repped me. :rofl:
+Rep for you.
