However, if people are quick to overlook an athlete for an obvious heinous crime against a woman, because of his future as a pro athlete, why not O'Reilly? Why is it fair to allow one to move on to a career of earning millions, and another to have to lose one?
I haven't heard of anyone overlooking Mixon honestly. It sounds like he has been making rounds to teams trying to mend fences. The Pats pulled him off their board entirely. That's just the team that has publicly said so I'd be willing to bet they aren't the only team who knows they won't draft Mixon.
O'Reilly hasn't admitted to doing anything wrong he has just claimed that he is a target simply because he's famous. That's pretty much his go to excuse for anything that revolves around him that people frown upon.
Really though I think comparing the two is pretty ridiculous . It's like trying to explain to someone why the POTUS should be held to a higher standard compared to your garbage man and the response is he's anti-PC and keeps it real. Mixon plays a game for a living and O'Reilly is a political figure.
Sports are very low on the totem pole of importance and politics aren't.
