The only difference is the video was or wasn't released.

Fetish?

I'm suggesting it as a possibility?!?!

[Eielson]

Fetish?

In just about every Mixon thread, we've all come to the same conclusion.

(BTW, watch out for FaninAma)

[Mazeppa]

There is a difference - Mixon knocked the girl out; Johnson didn't. That's why Mixon's video is more like Ray Rice's than DeAndre Johnson's. Having seen all three, Mixon's is easily the worst of them.

"SARCASM"

Maybe Mixon just got in a cleaner shot.

He keeps saying HE"S seen the Mixon Vid. When asked When? Where? he disappears for awhile.

I don't know what the right solution is for these situations. I do agree that the violence is inexcusable and should not go unpunished or be condoned in any way. Regardless of the situation, it is never OK to hit somebody else, particularly when there is such a size/strength disparity. And I don't buy the fact that this is just testosterone and adrenaline. There are literally millions of college students who manage to go through their entire undergraduate education without physically assaulting anybody. And if there really is something inherent about football or sports that makes these guys more violent, then that's a major problem that needs to be addressed, or we should just end the sport entirely. It is not alright for athletes to physically assault people.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what the appropriate punishment is. I don't think it's fair to say that if a person makes a mistake like this that their entire life should be over and they should never be able to 1) complete their education and 2) have the opportunity to earn a living as a professional athlete. If the person has served a suspension and dealt with other appropriate penalties from the University and/or the legal system, then at some point they should be able to move on with their lives and potentially develop into a contributing member of society and their community. I'm not sure what is accomplished by taking away those opportunities, if a person is willing to reform themselves and has served out a reasonable penalty.

If it's a repeat problem, or if it's an extreme case where the victim is disabled for life or something, then that's probably different. But otherwise, I generally think people deserve a second chance, whether they are an athlete or not.

bull crap...if someone is attacking me I have a LEGAL right to defend myself...

[Eielson]

With as drunk as Mixon's attacker sounds, she probably would have passed out had he completely whiffed.

If you are a D1 Athlete and are being "attacked" by an unarmed college female, and you have to resort to aggressive physical violence to deal with the situation, then there are a whole host of decision-making and conflict resolution skills that need to be addressed. There are tons of options to deal with that scenario that allow you to defend yourself but don't involve throwing a closed fist punch that knocks the other person to the ground.

Are you really this moronic?

[graphster]

LOL. You are the one arguing that college athletes are just too hyped up on testosterone and adrenaline (roid rage?) to keep from physically assaulting people.

I suspect you're the type that would let someone beat your a** and you'd just take it and like it!

No Dude I said it was a contributing factor.You keep calling him a College D-1 Athlete But seem to not recall he was celebrating his 18th B-day. Oh and dont use words like Roid rage and try to insinuate I said them . If you cant tell the Dif. between a High octane thoroughbred and a Shetland circus pony I feel for you,

[Curly Bill]

He doesn't like aggressive physical violence.

Those must be the hot-button words they learned in his support group.

Maybe we can have him over for tea and cookies and work on our conflict resolution skills?

Yes. And, he's supposedly getting that help in decision-making and conflict resolution. His decision was wrong all the way around. And, when you throw in that his attorney claims he was sober, you understand that he needed to learn how to deal with those situations even moreso.

[Tear Down This Wall]

You keep saying you've seen the Mixon Vid. Share a Link, Or are you a secret member of the Media also?

A link to it was posted on landthieves last August, then taken down after about three hours. That's where many non-media people saw it. If you are 100% married and faithful to soonerfans.com, you missed it.

[EatLeadCommie]

Fact: Not all people react the same way when instigated and punched/slapped/pushed. We can sit up here on our high horses and say we must only react in this manner because we are civilized and like our wine and cheese, but unless it happens to you, you never know. I was brought up to never hit a girl and never have. But I've also never had one get physical with me (fighting physical, not sexy time physical) so I can't say for sure what I'd do. I'm pretty level headed and am pretty sure I'd stay cool, but the face is like a trigger for some and the defense mechanism light comes on as a reflex. I think that in both Mixon's case and the FSU kid's case that neither guy ends up hitting a girl if she didn't initiate the physical contact. That is not an unimportant detail.

If that Vid was Up , was it Verified? Who posted it? And as smart as they all think they are why isnt there a Million copys circulating?
