Bengals meet with mixon

Because someone hasn't doesn't mean they won't and because they did doesn't mean they will again. I'd probably argue he is less likely to do it again because he has been through the backlash.

I'll be perfectly honest, I am good either way on the guy. We often times pretend like athletes are supposed to be role models, but the reality is like most people they are deeply flawed and have issues, it's not until it comes out in the media we consider them human.

I'm not interested in having players that are role models.

I just don't want a player who goes out and gets in trouble. Especially not at the cost of a 2nd round pick.

Mixon is very talented. But there have been multiple reports that he's hot headed. I don't know if it would be good for him to go to a team with somewhat shaky moral leadership (especially if Whitworth leaves) as well as being on the same team as Pacman "I hope you die" Jones.

I'm not even coming from the moral high ground level of "you should never hit a woman." I find that to be a sexist stance that holds back our society. That girl should have known what was coming when she was pushing him and yelling in his face. (Just to be clear, I'm not saying I personally would have hit her, but the demonizing of a young man who actually tried to walk away AS WELL AS restraining himself the first time she pushed him seems like a bit of witch hunting at this point).

My only concern lies with his temper and the fact that we have a known problem child on our roster that would almost certainly foster that temper in Mixon.
