Difference between LeGarrette Blount and JJ

Can someone please tell me the difference between Blount and JJ??? JJ allegedly kicked a man in the face while he was down; Blount snuck a man after a game. I applauded chip Kelly for his punishment even though it was Blount’s "SENIOR" year. You don't act like animals and this has to be taught. I think the same punishment should be handed to Jefferson if proven guilty. Suspend him for the season but allow him to practice on the scout team, and if he only gets in the final game of the year for a few snaps, then so be it!

Blount wasn't suspended for the entire season, you fricking moron.

I agree with your punishment however the difference is that Blunt punched a guy on national TV on the field basically.

ok so the street brawl is better than the field punch only because the field punch was on national tv? no way, the actions were the same. They both did harm to another individual, or at least it still has to be proven in JJ case, but that seems like it's starting to happen. Look, if he did this and thats what im saying, if he did this, the punishment needs to be the same

Blount snuck a guy while wearing a helmet. Jefferson allegedly whipped a guy who started the fight. It's kind of like he difference between Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima

holy jesus.
Blount did it on national TV and JJ's scenario is late at night at a bar where nothing but shitty video that doesn't really prove much. Big difference.

And if it can be proven that JJ did it or if legal action is taken against him, he deserves more than a suspension.

You moron, one was on national television for the whole world to see. The other is wildly uncertain. If, and when, the same action actually does come to light, then the punishment will probably be the same.
But unlike LB's incident, this one is still uncertain.

Blount was suspended indefinitely, and for a long time wasn't permitted to practice. He slowly earned his way back on the team with the practice squad and eventually up the depth chart by meeting the criteria coach Kelly set for him. His first carries came in the 2nd half of the final regular season game vs. Oregon State, and he played in the Rose Bowl that year vs. Ohio State.
Blount took one for the team, because there had been a string of bad incidents that had made it into the media, Coach Kelly came down hard on Blount as a warning to the rest of the team that he meant business.
Most people also don't know the full story...
The bad blood with BSU started in 2008 with a series of very cheap headshots that knocked players out for Oregon and led to BSU ejections, that led into the 09 rematch and events that transpired. Everyone saw the punch, what you didn't see was it being replayed on the big screen at the stadium on a 3 second loop about 50 times nearly inciting a riot, and as Blount was being taken off the field he was struck by a BSU fan causing his reaction, the camera angle at the time was directly behind Blount so it didn't show it very well how he was attacked by BSU fans and retaliated, spurned on by the BSU video staff trying to incite a riot by replaying the footage over and over.

depends. if he's defenseless on the ground, no.
if he's still locked up in man to man combat, then by all means go Liam Neeson in Taken on that arse!

I agree with this, but I am soley talking about the action in itself, not the fact that it was on national tv, the action

But at this point, no one knows if the actions were the same, so of course they will be treated differently right now. This isn't rocket science.
