Accused of getting out of a car to punch a gay couple on the sidewalk. http://www.wsaz.com/news/headlines/MU-Fo...67091.html

smh

Yikes

The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks.

Yep.

So Marshall fans, we can all assume he's off the team? Yes I know he's not guilty till he pleas but does that really matter..he was arrested.

They'd be remarkably stupid not to kick him off the team.

Marshall doesn't get the same leeway and passes that Alabama and Co. receive.

This thread is not as interesting unless a member of the swim team was involved...and carrots.

We'll see what happens. There is always two sides of a story. Chances are good that he is gone though. Kids do stupid stuff from time to time.

What if the girl from the swim team was the very same gay person that got punched?

So many possible story lines.

Hopefully, he's done. We can't have players running around doing stupid stuff like that. Disagreeing with that lifestyle is one thing, but it can't be expressed in that way. He'll be lucky if they don't charge him with a hate crime.

Unless there is another side that comes to light, he is gone for sure. As he should be.

The question I have is one of the victims was shooting video from his phone when Butler got out of the car. Now why would he be doing that? Butler was allowed to practice all spring and play in the spring game. If Doc knew about this, and I am sure he did, he would NEVER have kept him on the team if what we are hearing is the whole story.

The fact that Butler is still a member of the team tells me all the facts have not come out. If they have, he will be gone. Stupid is as stupid does.

Thankfully we still have Johnson, Watson and Pittman as the top three - we should be fine.

Less so when it's on video

"Sperry says the couple had been in a similar situation previously and said if they ever were in that situation again, they would video it for proof."

I'm not someone who presumes to know what happens in situations I didn't witness myself, but it doesn't look good for Butler

Still gonna be 13-1 DOSENT matter if he's on or off the team.

I think it could be a big loss. He had a pretty good game against WKU last year:

24/233 9.7avg 2 TD

So many possible story lines.

Any way you look at it, there is a fist involved.

Agree. If thats why they did it, then they obviously had reason to.
Butler should go. He has been suspended from the team and school - per an announcement for our interim President.
