Locker-room attack put TCU receiver in hospital for three days

Football is premised in many respects on controlled violence. The emotions of the game can lead to uncontrolled violence, and that can create a major problem for players and teams.

At TCU, a locker-room fight earlier this month resulted in the dismissal of safety Jacob Fields. It also resulted in very serious injuries for TCU receiver Dozie Ezukanma.

Via Shambhavi Rimal of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Ezukanma spent three days in a hospital with a concussion and a brain bleed after the August 13 attack.

The delayed transport of Ezukanma to the hospital apparently made the situation worse. After multiple brain scans and with treatment (including medication), doctors finally got the situation under control.

Fields was charged on Sunday with aggravated assault for allegedly punching and kicking Ezukanma in the head.

The assault was reported to TCU police on August 14. Fields was expelled from the team the next day, and the move was announced three days later.

Fields, after the incident, said the following in a text message: “I made an emotional decision cause how I felt I played the last few practices. . . . I’ll pay every hospital bill and then some to make this right.”

He'll be facing far greater consequences than that, and if he did what he's accused of doing, he should.
