The Texas Tech administration is going to have a lot of explaining to do on this one.

So you are just supposed to stand there and let a woman punch you?



So the women punches the man, the man retaliates with a slap. The man gets kicked off the team and arrested, while the woman only gets suspended for a month.


Talk about unequal justice

If your smart you do. Police are better about arresting women, but I have seen too many cases where a man appeared to be defending himself defensively and was arrested. Equal rights, equal pay well they should get equal punishment under the law.

As for him getting off, rarely the real/entire story ever gets told. See how colleges handle rape cases. Even worse if they are athletes. A brilliant job of investigation a certain star FSU QB.

Ok, done with my soapbox.

Very true - and I know from friends that this is the case (like my buddy who got arrested because his wife (now ex-wife) took a swing at him during an argument. He merely put his hand up to block it, she fell and broke her hand. He got hauled off to jail.)

Read the two posts above and then read the Demestic Battery Laws. All that needs be said by any party is that there was a realtionship and he's meat. I do not condone violance and or taking a beating but, the better side of valor is to just leave. I would also add that he struck her with a closed fist and not an open hand which you portray. 07-coffee3

No, he walks away. Nothing is ever gained hitting a female, unless you are threatened by one, which would be real sad if you are an athlete.

I agree. I know he was young, but hitting a female does not solve anything and shows lack of control, needed when you are in a team sport.

This is my philosophy. I taught my son this as well. You have to be the level headed one and simply walk away.

I have told both my son's the same. It does nothing to solve the situation, as you point out.

even if you are in the right for hitting the girl you will always come out looking like a dbag.

And with good reason. With great power comes great responsibility. And no matter how much feminists deny it, the average man is immensely more physically powerful than the average woman. Men MUST be more careful in physical altercations because we can cause more damage.

Men and women are not equal, and will not (and should not) be treated equally by the law. Get used to it because that's reality. We can whine about it not being "fair," but then again it's not exactly "fair" that a man with no college degree can get a better job than a woman with no college degree (because a man's physical labor is more valuable than a woman's).

Lol @ all the "preachers" on here. None of you would practice what you're preaching. If any of you got hit in the back of the head would your first response not be to defend yourself?

RE: Guess we were too quick to pass judgement on the Texas Tech kid
When I hear this I am always reflected on this episode:


Really, hitting someone regardless of the situation isn't a good idea but...

And part of me thinks some women want to play that game banking on the "chivalry" of men to keep themselves out of trouble.

What is the upside. You hit them and you are arrested, maybe sued. Walk away and do not see her again seems to be the best option.
