Some say he's made a mistake and has changed his life since, but that isn't true. He made a mockery of it during the bowl game. He and his boys laughed and egged the crowd on when they chanted about the incident. He and his boys mocked the punch and Mixon was having a blast. This kid didn't learn a thing. He's an entitled meathead that thinks the world revolves around him and it probably won't end well for him.
defending this behavior...
BS, if you hit a woman that is not a life threatening situation, you are about as much a man as a mouse.
No excuses. And BTW- the video was quite telling.
POS, move on....
He was off my draft board the minute I saw that video. I don't need confirmation from other incidents. I'm sure there are teams in the NFL that wouldn't take him in any one of the seven rounds and I'm gonna guess the Giants are one of them. What boggles my mind is that there are also teams that will leave him on their draft board and maybe even spend a 2nd or 3rd round pick on the scumbag. I just don't get it.
If I were his agent, this is the advice I would give him: take a year off from football. Use that time to focus on being a righteous individual. It's a four-step program similar to what the Giants had Christian Peter go through before they would agree to sign him to a contract...
1. Therapy (anger management, etc)
2. Continue his education via college classes
3. Hold down a real job (it could be anything from waiting tables to office clerk).
4. Community service.
He's a young guy and I'm not advocating that the NFL or society should give up on him, but he needs to earn back the right to be a member of society (and the NFL) in good-standing. The above four steps is his version of a "prove-it-to-me" deal. Short of that, fuck him.
Not just the folks on this board, who are plenty, but all the people actually around this situation. He seriously injured the young women he assaulted and there simply wasn't any indication whatsoever that his attack was provoked or in anyway justified. If Mixon weren't a football player at a big time college he would almost certainly be in jail right now. Just don't get why any team would hire this punk. Really do not think he's draft-able and I have a hard time seeing very many teams willing to risk the PR nightmare which would follow him.

We usually visit with players we have questions about for one reason or another. We have never really met with Mixon so that screams that he is off of our board. It makes sense with the whole Josh Brown situation last year.
I expect a lot of them are assholes or worse. I was pissed they cut Josh Brown cause I don't think guys should be blocked from pursuing their career for off the field stuff.
Having said all that, if the Giants draft Mixon I will actively root against him. I'll still love the Giants but every time this kid touches the ball I'll hope he fails. I'd root for him to suck so bad the we cut him, and would not cheer any success he had. Everyone has to draw the line somewhere, and for me it's with this piece of shit.
This piece of garbage has learned nothing from this incident. His attitude during the interview was him acting as if he had been wronged and that he just wanted to put the incident behind him. There was no real contrition on his part and the truth of the matter is, he's a piece of garbage.

Oh there sure were people defending Mixon. There were a few people that claimed he has a right to defend himself. There were multiple people that blamed the girl. That thread was an embarressment for sure.
(graduated in 1978) and then college, I do not recall hearing a single incident where a guy slugged a lady/girl. Not one single incident. If it did happen, that's the sort of story that would have spread all over even w/o social media.
Maybe the NFL should be able to "ban" certain offenders from playing in the league? Maybe they could lay out a program of redemption such as what Milton posted?
Oh there sure were people defending Mixon. There were a few people that claimed he has a right to defend himself. There were multiple people that blamed the girl. That thread was an embarressment for sure.
Not the thread, Keith. The assholes who said that he had every right to full force defend himself with an overhand right that shattered this girl's face.
I'd kill you if you did that to my wife, daughter, niece, sister. Dead.
Oh there sure were people defending Mixon. There were a few people that claimed he has a right to defend himself. There were multiple people that blamed the girl. That thread was an embarressment for sure.
There were a lot of media people saying it was only one incident and he was remorseful as well.

Watch that video on Youtube and rell me if you see contrition or remorse. He seriously acted as if he had been done wrong.

I'm on your side.
I'll take the heat... and I still stand by my comments on the previous
thread. She should've kept her hands to herself. At no point did I condone him hitting her the way he did... but for whatever reason she assaulting him first seems to always be overlooked and I don't think that's fair at all.
That said, the possibility that it wasn't the first time he hit a girl/woman (which I believe) changes my personal view of him from a guy who's a dick... who overreacted by punching her the way he did in the college video... to now a contemptible human being and I also would like to not see on the Giants.
Once him and his lawyer said that the girl hit him
I knew he hadn't changed.. Anyone that looks at the video and assigns any blame to the girl is a Piece of shit.. the girl and her friend were by themselves in a restaurant.. he barged in and invaded their private space.. The girl merely pushed him back.. That is not equivalent to someone hitting you.. Even when she slapped him it was after he spit on her.. At no one should anyone in Mixon's shoe say that he punched her because she hit him..

I don't want to get in some long debate about this and I respect your opinion T-Bone, but I want to respond. Should she have slapped him? No. The story is that he was hitting on her, she denied his advancements, her friend said something to leave her alone, Mixon then said something to the friend that she felt the need to defend. Her slap was a half slap, nothing that Mixon would even feel. He then used that as an opportunity to knock her out and break her face. There is no defending him in any way. He is a POS and nothing that has happened since has shown that he feels bad for that moment.

There are a few 'appropriate' responses.
- Leave the scene
- Ask for assistance with removing the person (preferably from another male)
- Call the authorities
If you don't think anything she did was 'inappropriate'... I'd say that's part of the problem. Keep your hands to yourself... no matter what sex you are.

I respect yours... and most others... opinions here as well so I thank you for that.
You guys keep saying she had a 'right to defend' her friend. First off, the friend was a male... it's kind of weak to think that this frail little girl felt the need to defend her male friend from another male friend.
Secondly, whether it was 'half-slap', a poke, a punch or a tackle doesn't matter to me. Keep your hands to yourself.
Thirdly, it's crazy to me that the very same people who are saying that people defending Mixon (which I'm not sure I'd say I, personally, was really doing... but if you want to see it that way I can understand it) are wrong for coming up with excuses as to why he had a right to hit her are coming up with excuses as to why she had a right to hit him. That's just crazy to me. So you guys teach your daughters that it's ok to hit a man if he calls your friend a gay slur? Really?

Well... yeah... but he wasn't the person to strike someone first was he? Sure we all would've preferred he done any of what I said above... but he reacted the same way she did... he just happened to be much stronger, and therefore the hit was much harder, than hers was.
1. I didn't defend her or absolve her from anything.
2. Apparently her friend was gay and Mixon made a gay slur. Again, not a reason to put your hands on someone.
3. If a 10 year old kid punches you, are you going to knock him out? Or do you understand that a 10 year old cannot hurt you and you shouldn't hit kids?
to hit him over the head with a chair, or stab him, or shoot him, but she slapped him.
I don't condone the "slap" but it was just a slap. Doesn't mean i'm raising my daughter to do that, which is a giant leap of an argument to make. Not sure why you feel the need to inject that comment. Thinking a girl that slapped a guy shouldn't have her face broken in retaliation doesn't mean me/we are raising our kids to hit each other.
the woman putting her hands on him, forget it. He follows the two into a restaurant, seeing the woman with the not so tough guy, he steps to her with who knows what kind of sleazy talk, she is not interested, he calls the other guy a F, she finally is so sick of this scumbag she wants t push him out, thinking, maybe he will get the hint now, he doesnt, instead he breaks her fucking face!!! BREAKS HER FACE!!! A woman incapable of hurting this big athlete, throws girlie punches to his chest, and some want to call it assault? If its assault, he should have gotten the law, instead he breaks her face. Come on. It's not OK to be an animal. Sorry.

Keith,
1 - perhaps... but you do seem to be excusing her by saying, "...Mixon then said something to the friend that she felt the need to defend. Her slap was a half slap, nothing that Mixon would even feel." If that wasn't your intent, I apologize for misreading what you wrote.
2 - Agree 100% with this one and it's all I've been trying to say.
3 - Of course not. But is the college girl 10 years old? I can get into a bunch of 'what ifs' but don't have the time nor really care to.
to hit him over the head with a chair, or stab him, or shoot him, but she slapped him.

This is what I mean, Keith, when I say some of you are really reaching in trying to excuse or belittle what she did. If Mixon didn't hit her back... and pressed charges against her... do you think the judge would've said 'Well... it was just a slap... so no penalty!'. I don't think so and if he/she did I would've had a major problem with that.
UConn - I felt the need to interject it because of statements like the one you just made. She doesn't have a right to 'just slap' him. Please explain to me why you think she did because you seem to keep excusing her assault on him for some reason.
herself and her friend after being approached, followed, and cornered. She didn't take the best approach but the one she did take certainly wasn't terribly threatening. The retaliation was absurd. That's really all anyone is trying to say, not sure how it can be twisted into something it isn't.

Dictionary.com has the following definition for 'Assault' (the law definition):
Quote:
an unlawful physical attack upon another; an attempt or offer to do violence to another, with or without battery, as by holding a stone or club in a threatening manner.
That's what she did. Sorry if that definition doesn't fit your narrative.
live in a world where it's ok to hit women. That world is not so good.
Agree 100% and I hate people of that world.
But I live in a world where it's not ok for anyone to hit anyone else. But maybe I just live in that world alone... at least when it comes to on this site.
Some say he's made a mistake and has changed his life since, but that isn't true. He made a mockery of it during the bowl game.

Ha great point. Book it for the 7th rd selection.
If I were his agent, this is the advice I would give him: take a year off from football. Use that time to focus on being a righteous individual. It's a four-step program similar to what the Giants had Christian Peter go through before they would agree to sign him to a contract...
1. Therapy (anger management, etc)
2. Continue his education via college classes
3. Hold down a real job (it could be anything from waiting tables to office clerk).
4. Community service.
He's a young guy and I'm not advocating that the NFL or society should give up on him, but he needs to earn back the right to be a member of society (and the NFL) in good-standing. The above four steps is his version of a "prove-it-to-me" deal. Short of that, fuck him.

Agree.
Oh there sure were people defending Mixon. There were a few people that claimed he has a right to defend himself. There were multiple people that blamed the girl. That thread was an embarressment for sure.
Maybe the NFL should be able to "ban" certain offenders from playing in the league? Maybe they could lay out a program of redemption such as what Milton posted?
Thoughts, anyone?

That said, the possibility that it wasn't the first time he hit a girl/woman (which I believe) changes my personal view of him from a guy who's a dick... who overreacted by punching her the way he did in the college video... to now a contemptible human being and I also would like to not see on the Giants.
When someone that aggressive barges into a group of people what is the proper response if not to push that person? Nothing she did was inappropriate..
There are a few 'appropriate' responses.
- Leave the scene
- Ask for assistance with removing the person (preferably from another male)
- Call the authorities
If you don't think anything she did was 'inappropriate'... I'd say that's part of the problem. Keep your hands to yourself... no matter what sex you are.
Couldn't those same responses be what Mixon should have done?
Well... yeah... but he wasn't the person to strike someone first was he? Sure we all would've preferred he done any of what I said above... but he reacted the same way she did... he just happened to be much stronger, and therefore the hit was much harder, than hers was.
2. Apparently her friend was gay and Mixon made a gay slur. Again, not a reason to put your hands on someone.
3. If a 10 year old kid punches you, are you going to knock him out? Or do you understand that a 10 year old cannot hurt you and you shouldn't hit kids?
I don't condone the "slap" but it was just a slap. Doesn't mean i'm raising my daughter to do that, which is a giant leap of an argument to make. Not sure why you feel the need to inject that comment. Thinking a girl that slapped a guy shouldn't have her face broken in retaliation doesn't mean me/we are raising our kids to hit each other.

Keith,
1 - perhaps... but you do seem to be excusing her by saying, "...Mixon then said something to the friend that she felt the need to defend. Her slap was a half slap, nothing that Mixon would even feel." If that wasn't your intent, I apologize for misreading what you wrote.
2 - Agree 100% with this one and it's all I've been trying to say.
3 - Of course not. But is the college girl 10 years old? I can get into a bunch of 'what ifs' but don't have the time nor really care to.

This is what I mean, Keith, when I say some of you are really reaching in trying to excuse or belittle what she did. If Mixon didn't hit her back... and pressed charges against her... do you think the judge would've said 'Well... it was just a slap... so no penalty!'. I don't think so and if he/she did I would've had a major problem with that.
UConn - I felt the need to interject it because of statements like the one you just made. She doesn't have a right to 'just slap' him. Please explain to me why you think she did because you seem to keep excusing her assault on him for some reason.
Dictionary.com has the following definition for 'Assault' (the law definition):
That's what she did. Sorry if that definition doesn't fit your narrative.
Agree 100% and I hate people of that world.
But I live in a world where it's not ok for anyone to hit anyone else. But maybe I just live in that world alone... at least when it comes to on this site.
I didn't see that in the link. Where does it say that?
