Joe Mixon is a Bengal

Okay, I'm gonna make one post about this and be done with it because this situation is so sickening to me.

Quite simply, if you can't think of a scenario in which you would be inclined to deck a woman in the face, you're just not thinking hard enough.

This could have been gang related, she may have been slinging racial slurs at him calling a ****** and an ape and telling him to go back to the jungle or some crap and then she pushes him? Yea. She deserved to get knocked tf out.

Having said that, nobody knows what went on between those two and why this happened like it did, but what matters is that they were able to meet, face to face, and settle their differences. Mixon has already dealt with his punishment for this, and honestly, it's unfair for him to face double punishment just because video footage of the scene came out.

The key moving forward is for him to keep his head on straight from here on out. I know just from my experiences with breaking the law that sometimes you can have deep rooted habits and ways of living your life and how you see the world that can cause you to keep wanting to break the law. It's so difficult to get out of that mindset and to go straight. Just look at PacMan. Straight for what, 8 years? And then BOOM. An incident.

I think Mixon deserved a second chance, and unfortunately, this league is all about winning, so you take the players that will give you the best chance to do just that. It sucks, but that's life. Life isn't fair. Life isn't easy. If you spend so much time dillydallying about every ticky tacky moral issue that you face, you'll never get anything done and you'll fall behind real fast.

This is Mixon's second chance. I think he derserves it, so go out there and play football and show the people that doubted you that they were wrong and that maybe they should take a look at THEIR sins and wrong doings instead of being so fixated on some blurring clip they saw on TV a hundred times. Peace.
