No one has been more critical of Mixon's actions than me, but I'm not ready to say the action was worse than what Burton did. The impact of Mixon's was much worse, but he claims he intended to protect himself after he was struck. Burton just wanted to hit a girl who was trying to celebrate a team victory.
So you can continue to feign indignation and disbelief all you wish, but I'm not here to assert the action Burton performed wasn't every bit as bad as what Mixon did; it's just Mixon's was more impactful.
I agree, looked like he barely even touched her. If we (as a society) can get past what Mixon did, I think this will also be long forgotten in a year. If we didn’t draft Burton, would we even know of this incident?
