Georgia running back Waushaun Ealey has taken the high road in Poke-gate. The pokee in Saturday’s game said today that Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes should not be suspended for his attempted eye-gouge.
Spikes was caught trying to jab at Ealey’s eyes when he was on the ground during Saturday’s game. Spikes has been suspended for the first half of this week’s Gator game against Vanderbilt.
Many, many people in the media feel that Spikes should have been suspended for a longer length of time. I, too, feel that a full-game suspension should have been the penalty… though I haven’t been as outraged as most.
Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow have both said that Spikes was simply reacting to having Georgia players poke at his eyes. True or not, that doesn’t excuse Spikes’ actions.
Asked about Spikes’ punishment, Ealey said that he “shouldn’t, I think, get suspended at all.”
Spikes has apologized for his actions.
Time to wrap this one up and move along, folks.
