If he wants to privately discuss his feelings on his salary with ownership, that's his right. it's there right to decide whether or not it's in the budget, and whether or not they think his performance merits it. They're not being mean if they say no. I think the thing that makes alot of people want to side with Mixon is our fear of losing him. Fear is a very powerful thing. It can get our values get way out of whack. 

He certainly never said he wanted to hold out.  The Bengals said they're "prepared for a holdout" if they can't reach an extension with Mixon.  Why would a team release this information; maybe because they want to pressure him to take the deal their offering.  So you agree that it shows a bad character because he did exactly what you said he should do and privately speak with the team?  Shrug maybe I'm just a weirdo who doesn't judge people in the middle of business negotiations.  The next time one of my employees asks me for more money because they're being paid a tenth of the market value I will tell them they are bad people and order them to get back to work.
