Oklahoma RB Joe Mixon
- Thread starter Tailg8er

Punching a woman is classless and cowardly unless she has gone all Muy Thai on your ass! OU would take a serial killer if they could play fb. Don't be foolish and think Bobby is a good guy. He is on the payola like all the cheating schools. Mock Paul all you want but there is a reason he said Honor Before Victory! Bad HC but knew all about the dirty people he had to compete against.
I wonder if I was in JM's place and I was the one that punched a women like that with video evidence if I would still be in prison?
A picture is worth a thousand words. It's one thing to read about a violent act, and entirely another to see the act. Ray Rice never got another NFL opportunity in part because he was on the decline already, but don't think the elevator video didn't play a role in that as well.
Before the video surfaced I thought the whole thing stunk to high heaven. And I have no sympathy for Boren and Stoops. They should have known better than to let this POS ever suit up. I don't care if the victim provoked him. She may have been wrong to shove him, but that doesn't make what he did right or justified.
This incident, like many others related to football players and acts of violence, is no surprise. You are raising and training people to be violently physical and expect them to be able to control it all of the time. I know that these are isolated incidents and the majority of football players can control this, but it would be interesting to see how the percentage of NFL or college football players involved in incidents of violence compares with the rest of society. I would assume that it is higher among players.
This will be largely forgotten and OU football fans don't care. For ****'s sake, a Chiefs player killed himself at the practice facility and nobody remembers or cares about it. To be honest, I am way more worried about the Chiefs getting home field for the playoffs than I am about any off field news that you could present me about DUI's or domestic abuse.

This right here. Quit watching movies. Also, it looks like Mixon in the video came into the restaurant to harass people, and got all up in their grill. The girl was probably in the wrong legally, until Mixon decided to use clearly disproportionate force. I guess his tweets from the past show almost complete lack of remorse and accountability.
If you don't hate OU football as much as KU basketball something is wrong with you. I would be ashamed to be associated with either of them.
Hope everyone passes on him in the NFL. Is Ray Rice playing in the NFL now???? Sounds like OU was trying to throw a blanket on this, but now sounds like old' Bobby boy may be in a little bit of trouble.
Not calling people racial slurs, approaching them, and hitting them in public:
EASIEST THING I'VE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE, ZERO EFFORT, ONLY REQUIRES NOT BEING A HATEFUL IDIOT
Resisting the urge to hit back when someone calls me a racial slur, approaches me, and hits me: not the easiest thing in the world to do the right thing
As much as I'd like to throw the OU AD under the bus, the girl did just as much or more wrong than Mixon. Case of a stupid person doing a stupid thing and Mixon not being a perfect individual in response to it.

Stoops is a low life POS. I just lost total respect for that program. The kids punishment is to just redshirt a season. Any coach with any class at all would have kicked him off the team by now.
Tyreek Hill is and everyone has seemingly swept him punching his pregnant girlfriend and assault conviction under the rug.
But is there video of that incident? I think this is going to be an interesting litmus test for the NFL. Is there a difference between hearing about something and actually seeing it play out?

Then people can stop pretending that sports teach discipline.At least we can eliminate that charade.
No but there was a conviction, which in this day and age is not always a sure thing. http://www.si.com/college-football/...ball-domestic-violence-battery-plea-agreement
I can't stand people that say that her being a woman has any factor. Women should be equal. Mixon didn't react proportionally and therefore deserved to be punished but we need to treat people equally regardless of what gender they are. If it was me I would have expected the same because I'm not a big guy. He should have gotten something along the lines of a 1 year suspension. We can argue about how much it was actually a suspension but people need to stop overreacting and calling for lifetime bans or saying it's worse because he hit a woman.
I think it's more accurate to say they instill work ethic than discipline. Similar but not identical concepts. Neither is tied to morality.

Agree.
Hopefully at some point society, namely feminists and overcompensating men with antiqued views, will reach true equality. Only once we stop treating women as children and view assault without differentiating based on gender can domestic violence be reduced.
Would this be in the news if it's Average Joe that got punched after first trying to rough Mixon? A normal man is more the equal of a woman than he is a guy like Mixon.
