He shouldn't have done it.
But exactly why should he be punished more or is it much worse from a legal POV if she is a woman.
It isn't worse.
If a man had simply ran on the field and done nothing to him and he hit the guy, it's the same thing. He shouldn't have done it.
I have seen people on here say there's never a situation where a man should make physical contact with a woman. I"d say blanket statements like that are often not well thought out.
Have you ever been in an abusive situation where the woman was the abuser? Did you know that according to polling, women are more likely to answer that they've hit their husbands in anger more than men?
Women can pick up a knife, gun or blunt object just like a man. They can sneak up from behind you with it just like a man. They can corner you in a room just like a man. I've lived it. If you have not lived with a female abuser, you don't know what you're talking about here.
Not saying that Jermaine was right. He was wrong no matter the sex of the individual.

Some ? An opinion piece by a former Florida and Miami beat writer who attended UAB ?
Nice deflection try though.
The desperation continues to strengthen with each failed smear attempt.
Looks like lots of team's fans hate Alabama.
We ( Mizzou ) really have not been here long enough for that level of hate intensity to consume us.
Maybe we'll step up soon ?

Are you kidding me? He went out of his way to hit that woman. She wasn't even close to him.
How is this acceptable? What the ever living frick?

What he did was wrong. However when a fan steps on a field the players have a right to be concerned. Was he in any danger? Likely not.
This bias is strong in defending his ridiculous actions.
There was absolutely no reason for him to strike that woman.
He had a ton of room between the two of them. Nick Saban is a coward if he does not punish him for unnecessarily hitting a woman. And a POS.
quote:
e have no idea what was said when she passed him or if the other fan with the video camera in his face was right before that.
She wasn't even looking at him. You really think that woman said something to him? And are we okay with striking people over words? Just how sensitive and immature are we?
quote:
However, we just saw a man about her same size run onto the 49ers field on Monday night football with a smoke bomb. He got speared and everyone said he deserved it, which I agree with. This incident is only different because she is a woman.
Are you really this stupid? You are comparing a guy running all over the field disrupting a live game with smoke bombs to a woman walking on the field after a huge win? I also expect a college program to be more accountable with their players than some streaker at a pro event. And yes, it actually should matter more when a woman is struck unnecessarily.
quote:
It is an SEC rule that fans do not come on the field. When you break that rule you forfeit your right to safety.
WTF man? You are fair game to be assaulted? Might as have raped her too then, huh? Fair game and all. He went out of his way to strike this woman who was not even in his space. You are okay with this behavior, because fans came on the field after a huge win? What the frick is wrong with you?
I cannot believe anyone is justifying or excusing this incident. Only a homer fan of epic proportions would defend such actions. Assault like this with no consequences is absurd.

Based on how brutal the majority of you are making it out to be, she takes a hit better than Texas QB's.

You can see the evil in Burton’s eyes when he struck her. I just watched the video and I’m literally shaking.

Let me be clear, though. Burton needs to be held accountable for hitting a woman. Case closed. But did Burton even know it was a woman? Maybe not. It was such a wild scene after the game. I didn’t push anyone that I can remember, but I have seen reporters shove fans before.
Tennessee was fined $100,000 by the SEC for its fans rushing the field. Here’s the thing about that, though. Schools are fined for fans rushing the field not because players might hit opposing fans. Players know they can’t hit anyone. The fines exist because fans can trample each other and be killed.
I hate this for everyone involved. These aren’t the things that are supposed to define a season, but a standard needs to be upheld and all eyes are now on Saban.
This is a national story because of the nature of the game and how it ended. It’s a high-profile case because Alabama is a national brand and because of Saban’s reputation as the best coach in the history of college football. Also this, too. A player hitting a woman on the field is unprecedented in sports.
I don’t know how this compares to other flashpoints between fans and players throughout sports history, but the video that was posted to the internet was disturbing.
Hopefully the fan is OK. At the very least, Burton and Alabama need to apologize. The video, which was blurry, doesn’t indicate that she was hurt or injured from the alleged smack.
Does the severity matter? The circumstances? Saban will decide, and no one else. If Burton remains on the team, then Alabama will be tied to Burton’s actions for as long as he plays football in Tuscaloosa.

The bigger punishment for Alabama would be to NOT suspend him and let him play. Are you other fanbases sure you want Saban to suspend him? Did you SEE him lost in his route running in the 4th quarter?

If it was an LSU player, I would be pissed too, and I am sure some fans would be defending the player too, but against a girl, no one over 50 would

He pushed her. Pretending like what he did is the same as actually hitting a woman is bullshite. It was a dick move, but he didn't "hit a woman".
If she had turned around and kicked him in the nuts, I would have said well he deserved that. But beyond that, you guys are no different than dumbasses who run around calling everything racists. Lacking anything that resembles morals and honesty, using any and every event to label your "opponents" in a negative light.
TLDR: Go frick yourself.

Jeremy Hill was charged with sexual battery of a minor, then was charged with actual battery and LSU had a team vote on him.

Burton needs to learn not to put his hands on other people in a violent way unless it is in self defense. He didn’t punch the girl, but he did strike her. That kinda shite gets you arrested in a different situation, sued if you are a pro athlete, and killed if you strike the wrong person. Hopefully he learns that lesson, for his own sake. I mean that, I’ve got a son about his age and they need discipline and deserve for the more mature adults in their lives to hold them accountable.

So we have an update. The girl in question has deleted the video, marked her ticktock as private and she has refused any interviews. Now why would someone who didn’t instigate this do all of that?
Current rumors running online are that she said something derogatory and spit on him. The spit would explain why his reaction was slow and he went to shove her head as she was passing and not while she was right in front of him,
Once again he shouldn’t have done it but let’s not act like she’s innocent until we have all the facts.
e: alright too far.
you’re still a fricking moron though
