Joe Mixon is a Bengal

I'll just say what I did in the draft thread, a fair portion of this board will just say im just showing 'fake outrage', or that im on my high horse peering down at others.

I fully excercise my right to have an opinion on this guy, and I fully excercise my right to not like a man who beats up a woman. Whether it was 40 years ago, or 4 hours ago. I think itsa sign of a disgusting human being.

With that said, is that my forever opinion of somebody? No. Forgive, but not forget is my mantra on this one. If he lives a completely clean life outside of that one incident (since it doesnt appear she has lasting damage, if she did my opinion wouldn't be forgiving) then I don't think it's fair for everything to come back to that one incident. It does seem like he has reformed himself, and I truly hope so.

I'm not going to passionately get behind this guy, I think there are people much more deserving of the riches he'll come into in the next few years. However, I hope he does well and continues to be a better person. What he did has happened and I am not willing to just forget it and let it slide completely, but you can't change the past either and all he can do is be a good person from now on. If he does that, then great.
