Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon

[Cyclonepride]

This piece of crap player should have been kicked out of school, let alone the football program last year. This is what happens when a centuries-worth of low morals/cheating/paying athletes to come to OU occurs. This is the culture down south and it's pretty disgusting.

Is Penn State in the south? That's the culture within many major programs.

What a piece of ****.

 

[SpokaneCY]

This is the culture down south? That's a little harsh.

I can be convinced that Mixon has fixed this with himself, the woman and the school. Bobby has a history of running off bad actors. I'd like to think there's more to the story than just the incident.

What more to the story is needed other than he beat a woman? Maybe if she was a really big and strong woman and it could be seen as a fair fight, but how else can you square yourself with beating a woman?

 

[NATEizKING]

Dumb by her, dumber by him.

 

[SpokaneCY]

It doesn't matter that she put her hands on him. Self defense requires the response to be proportional and it clearly wasn't. Otherwise, it would be legal for you to knock out a 7-year old because he kicked you on your shin.

I'd never hit a woman, but I could easily cross the line with some snot nose 7 year old. Little punk asses...

 

[CarlHungus]

That's bad. Anyone justifying it or saying it isn't bad needs their head checked

 

[isuska]

You didn't actually buy that, did you? Stoops gave him a one year suspension while Perrine was healthy and coming off a monster season. Let's call that 1 year what it really was: a redshirt season.

Great minds think alike

 

[Tailg8er]

He was clearly wrong but he already served a 1 year suspension didn't he?

Beyond the fact that it amounted to a redshirt year, do you think a 1 year 'suspension' from college athletics is a valid punishment for a man knocking out a woman?

He didn't just knock her out. He broke bones in her face. His defense is bull****. Why did he even come back into the restaurant? He could have just stayed out if he wanted to and could have walked away at any time. What a worthless human being.

I don't think he got enough punishment, but I also don't think the gender of the person he hit matters.

In this corner - 3TrueFans' teenage daughter. In the other corner, Ray Rice. Even fight.

I'm a bad person now because I think he should get more punishment than he did whether he hit a man or a woman?

Does that mean you think the acceptable level of punishment if his victim were a man is lower than if it were a woman?

Punishment should be different if he hit a kid/handicap person/woman/elderly, etc. The law will make no distinction on charges, but the judge should most certainly administer harsher punishment (maximum allowable), and I agree with that.

I love the fact that you compare women to kids, handicap people, and the elderly. Classic.

I'm just saying there is a clear physical advantage. That dude bench presses how much?

I just think Mixon should have gotten more punishment than he did and not because his victim was a woman but because the punishment he got wasn't sufficient for attacking another person and causing serious injury. Maybe that's not how the world works but that's what I think.

But I don't necessarily agree with equating a healthy mid-20's woman with the elderly, children or the handicapped.

I'd agree gender doesnt, but overall size\strength does. Obviously there are some women who could go toe to toe with a player like mixon. This wasnt one of them.

Ehhh, to an extent I hear what you're saying. But, physically there is a difference in the physique of men & women. I'm all for a woman being an executive or opening her own door if she wants, but there's a reason there are separate divisions for them in every sport.

 

[3TrueFans]

In terms of physical advantage, I've been cultivating mass for awhile, mostly in fat around the midsection, but if Joe Mixon hit me like that I wouldn't fair much better than that woman did.

I mean, compared to him physically, on the spectrum of things this woman was probably closer to 'kids, handicapped people, and the elderly' than she was to him.
