Do you condone drinking and driving, theft, or any of the other crimes that Bengals have committed?  Saying that a guy is allowed to play on the Bengals has nothing to do with condoning a mistake he made.

I was responding to the comment talking about the incident itself and the layers that went into him hitting her not being straightforward. At the end of the day I don't give a f*** what she said to him, there is nothing in this world she could have said that would make what he did ok. It really is that simple.


As to some of the other larger comments about the subject directed at me (even though I promised myself I was done arguing this kid) I will simply state my feelings yet again.

-Yes there are others in the league who have done what mixon did (or worse), that does not make it right and does not mean they should be in the NFL. It also doesn't mean he should get a pass because others did it too. 

-Personally I don't want him on my team. I feel the bengals, more than any team, need to avoid the trouble children. There are countless ways having someone like that on your team can hurt you. The benefits do not outweigh the risks imo 

-This kid has shown he has a lack of self control when situations get heated. People like that (*cough pacman) usually continue to find trouble and create problems for the team. 

-If he went to the Steelers or Ravens I know everyone in here hoping we draft him would be calling him a woman beater every time we played him.
