Has anyone seen this, talk about one of the most blatant attempts to take out a player, and a damn good player as well, just watching this pisses me off.

Yeah a nice long suspension is in order for Mr Cheap Shot artist. Horrible officiating for ejecting Washington, a PFoul was enough.
I completely agree, what teammate would not have attacked Butler for doing that to the teams best player, I wonder where the refs eyes were. Learned today that Butler is suspended for the FSU game but nothing longer then that.

That douche should be kicked off the tam and notallowed to play division 1 again. The guy he cheap-shotted is supposed to go high in the draft next year and now i heard that he might be out for awhile. What a dick. If i was his teammate i would have kicked his ass anyway.

Wow. That is awful. How in the world would he think that he would be able to get away with that?
In my opinion he should be suspended for the rest of the season. There is no place for that bull shit.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia offensive lineman Brad Butler was suspended for one game by the school for throwing a chop-block in Saturday's loss to Boston College.
Butler will sit out Saturday's game against Florida State, the university said in a statement Monday.
The play came after the whistle in the third quarter of the Eagles' 28-17 win over Virginia on Saturday. Boston College's Mathias Kiwanuka, who was the Big East defensive player of the year last season, already was smarting from a sore ankle when Butler hit him in the back of the knees.
BC defensive lineman Al Washington retaliated and was ejected; BC linebacker Brian Toal hit Butler one play later and drew a personal foul. Kiwanuka was ejected later in the third quarter for trying to exact revenge.
"I've never been one to play outside of the rules," Butler said in the statement. "I was not trying to hurt Mathias Kiwanuka. I was engaged in blocking him because he is the type of player who makes plays all over the field. I regret this event occurred and have put the incident behind me."
In the statement, Virginia head coach Al Groh apologized to Mathias and said Butler accepts responsibility for the incident.
"Football is the most intense and physical of all games," Groh said. "Because it is so, all of us who have the privilege to participate should have the utmost respect for the game itself and for fellow players and coaches. On Saturday, Brad crossed the line in adhering to that standard, and for that he must take accountability."
On Sunday, BC coach Tom O'Brien said Kiwanuka and Washington would be allowed to play in Saturday's game against Wake Forest despite being ejected.
Butler, a senior from Lynchburg, has started the last 31 games as an offensive tackle.

Maybe he will get picked to be a pro-fake wrestler.

Wow. That was ridiculous. Terrible job by the officiating crew. on dealing with the situation. Yes, you have to eject Washington for retaliating, but letting Butler stay on the field is a mistake worthy of losing your certification.
