Yeah, that was a total loser action by Haynesworth, but what do you expect, he went to the university of Tennessee. Not really sure what your whole Jesse Jackson rant was all about in the question, kind of bringing your politics out instead of really asking a question, but he should receive a 4 game suspension, similar to the suspension given to players for a first drug offense. This is a chance for the new commissioner to show what he is made of though.

I kinda agree… that sounds a lot like a criminal assault. I don’t normally watch football so i’m not so savvy about what goes on, but I think a purposeful attack should fall under the jurisdiction of the law.

Saw the footage while my husband was watching football.

If there’s any justice, he’ll receive a heavy fine and suspension from the rest of the season.

As a Titans fan and Univ. of Tennessee fan (where Haynesworth played college ball), this is typical behavior for him. I’ve been watching it for years. Don’t let his apology after the game fool you. He has been a disciplinary problem since he was a freshman at UT. He wouldn’t go to class, he wouldn’t study, he wouldn’t "compensate his tutors", he fought with teammates, argued with coaches, wouldn’t work out, wouldn’t practice hard, wouldn’t play hard, and it’s ALWAYS somebody elses fault. He’s a thug, a punk, and a criminal. I agree, the cops should have led him out in cuffs. Rest assured, if one of us did that to a Cowboys fan in the stands, that’s how we would have exited the game. He should be prosecuted for assault, fined $100,000, and suspended the rest of the year.

I agree with Skywalker and dgindians. I’m not understanding the Jesse Jackson and NAACP co relation, though.

First, I’d like to point out that he didn’t just stomp on his face. I rewinded and watched the replay quite a few times, and it looks like Haynesworth (#92) actually stooped down and removed Gurode’s loose helmet before stepping on his head once then stomping a bit harder the second time. I couldn’t tell if he was wearing cleats, but if they were cleats — as opposed to flat-soled high-tops — this should legally be considered assault and should result in criminal prosecution. If, on the other hand, they were flat-soled high-tops, he should be suspended an absoslute minimum of 4 games, have community service required of him, and be fined. I have always been a sports fan, and it’s extremely rare to see that kind of assault.

(1) The play was completely finished since it had resulted in a touchdown seconds earlier. (2) Gurode was near the original line of scrimmage which was yards away from the end of the play, so this was not a dogpile or some accident somehow related to the play. (3) Haynesworth stooped down well after the play was over and helped remove Gurode’s loose helmet while he lied on the ground. (4) Haynesworth then stepped on Gurode’s head pretending to just be walking over him. (5) When he got away with that (and the refs had missed one earlier unnecessary roughness call when T.O. was pushed in the back well after a play was over), he decided to do it again but stomped harder the second time. (6) He then earned a second flag by throwing down his helmet while cussing at the ref who had flagged him. (7) When the Titans head coach told him to stop cussing at the ref (you know, try to act like a man), he started cussing at his coach.

"Haynesworth" should now be used synonymously with "overpaid beotch of a man." Again, if Haynesworth put his cleats twice to the face of another player after removing his helmet while he was down, he should obviously be brought up on assault charges. This kind of crap shouldn’t be taken lightly. I played sports, and I know that the more tolerance there is for this kind of crap, the more it will occur. Games which are loosely reffed often turn dirty. Along the same lines, if the league treats him any differently just because he’s "a pro," we’ll be seeing this stuff more often. I, for one, don’t want to see more of it. I like to watch sports — not p*ssy retaliation. It’s called a sport, and there are parameters whithin which gentlemen play! If they can’t, they should be out of the league permanently. Real professionals should not be endangered by having some whiney beotch on the field who has repeatedly demonstrated his refusal to play as a gentleman.

I’m sure the NFL will take action but Jeff Fisher said that he will do some punishing himself but I think he does deserve a big fine and a big suspension and maybe some criminal punishment

$20K is nothing to these guys – no deterent!

Arrest him on assault charges. Try him in a court of law.

Suspend him without pay for the remainder of the season.

There is no place for that type of behavior!!!

The guy is a criminal!

He should be suspended for the season and arrested for assault.

PRISON!
References :

Send the idiot to prison, and ban him from any affiliation with amateur, or professional Sports. ALL of the proceedings should be broadcast during Prime Time TV.

In short – make an example of this guy, and every other person who pulls similar stunts.

It’s only a game – if you can’t play within the rules – both written and understood- get out of the game.
