    Brent Musburger and ESPN treating Joe Mixon like a hero

    Disgusting

    I don't care how good he is, how many TDs he scores, how could you ever pull for that guy? Knocked out a 120 lb girl at a restaurant leaving her with broken bones in her face. Plead guilty while maintaining innocence (Alford plea) and was only tearful and sorry because he got caught and it would affect his football career.

    Musburger wishing him the best and hopes he can have a great NFL career after getting a second chance. ESPN cameras following him around keeping him in the spotlight like he's the hero.

    He didn't steal a bike when he was 12, he almost killed a girl as an 18 year old man. I hope he tears his ACL, LCL, and MCL on his next carry. Fuk him

    Mixon is the best player on the field tonight. Who can't see that? Don't worry about Brent's commentary. If you wanted to see justice and fairness, go watch a law and order marathon

    Did he go to court? I didn't follow the story that closely but I assume it was settled.

    What he did was despicable and he has to live with it for the rest of his life. Hopefully he's learned from it.

    An Alford plea (also called a Kennedy plea in West Virginia, an Alfordguilty plea, and the Alford doctrine) in United States law is a guiltyplea in criminal court, whereby a defendant in a criminal case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence.

    And a big LOL at "plus racial slurs were used"

    First, it was alleged that racial slurs were said and Mixon said the friend she was with was the one who said it (Not the girl), even though that friend was sitting right next to a black guy. Second, the whole confrontation started outside with Mixon and his friend verbally abusing and insulting with homophobic slurs the friend she was with. Third, I know some disagree, but she could have gotten right in his face and called him anything, and it doesn't warrant his reaction.

    He's not a pro yet. Was like 19 when it happened. What he did sucks. Nothing wrong with saying he deserves a second chance though.

    NFL runs Ray Rice out of the league for the same thing but even though the nfl even have an awareness week for violence against women someone will draft him showing once again how they don't actually care. How quickly things change in a years time, now we are making excuses for offenders

    Not sure

    BTW, his year he got suspended he took a red shirt, so his only actual punishment was community service and I think some counseling. So I guess he actually got an extra year of college tuition, room, and board paid for? I don't know

    Why don't we hold ALL men to the same standard in these situations? Judges, policemen, politicians, educators, clergy, CEOs, etc.

    Why not include every tom dick and harry in your cluster of people,really your going to bring up Politicians in your argument,who the hell respects Politicians.

    Pro Athletes are in the forefront of the National Media,we should hold those people up to a certain standard.

    While I usually do not condone hitting woman. I know too many cases of men getting their asses kicked by woman and even killed. Google "man stabbed to death by woman" and get back to me. There are many woman these days that can beat the shit out of a lot of men. Chivalry might get you dead if your dumb. If a woman puts herself in a man's position, she should expect to get treated like a man.

    I was at a restaurant a few months ago where I opened the door for a woman, and some shemale runs right between us and slams into the door rushing out. Shemale broke her fingernail on the way out. He/She comes back into the restaurant and tries to confront me. She says, "you broke my mutherfukking fingernail". I was like WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY? He/she repeats, "you broke my fukking fingernail". I said loud as hell for everyone to hear "bitch you broke your own fingernail being an ass, you better back out of this door and go on your way before you get hurt". Butch/Dyke then says, "oh your going to hit a girl". I quickly answered... "who the fukk said you were a girl, you look like fukking Grizzly Adams. You're an ugly ass girl with an even uglier attitude trying to confront someone".

    She/he then murmers with her gilrfriend under her breath. My car was parked right in front of the door. I went right to the glove compartment and got my gun and stood my ground right there until they left. I haven't had a confrontation in decades and just like that you can get some idiot rush up on you. Talk all you want but your ass will be dead because you think all woman are woman. Fukk that shit.

    Why the, "Other people get away with stuff too" fallacy argument? Everyone has seen the video and he's going to be most likely rewarded with millions in the NFL. I can't speak about the multitude of other cases you have vaguely referred to, but this guy was caught on video and will most likely get rewarded with the privilege of a career in the NFL because of people who think like you do.

    So it's okay for her to throw the first punch? Fukk that shit. He should have stood his ground and shot her in the ass...

    There are a lot of Tom's , dicks and Harry's in and outside that cluster. Why are pro athletes at the forefront of the national media and not firemen and EMTs? We are quick to hold a young man who can run a football to a higher standard than a judge or doctor in these situations yet we expect judges and doctors to make great decisions ALL the time

    So what if her and her posse would have jumped him and beat him to death? You wouldn't even give a shit. A man has just the same right to defend himself as a woman.

    So, because the he/she yelled at you (out of line or not) you make a passive threat, then go get your gun...super reasonable.

    Lets see your bringing up people that no one gives a damn about,ive never stood up for anybody that beats on a woman or vice versa,dont know what world you live in, If a Firemen beats on his wife who is going to know about iit outside of maybe close coworkers,with Pro Athletes the whole world is privy to what they get upto including beating on people,thats why Pro Athletes are in the forefront of the national media and firemen and EMTs aren't.

    Why do you keep comparing Pro Athletes to other people,all your doing is excusing this sort of crap because you are dazzled by the mans skills with running a Football,so cut the crap.

    This


    There are huge POS humans in every industry and in every company. If you can provide value to a business your going to get work.

    If negative PR outweighs what he can do on the field, so be it, but NFL teams are a business....they should do whats best for the business.

    Nope. Just wondering why there is a different standard for a guy who hits a woman who runs a football and a sitting judge.
