I never once attempted to excuse what he did.
Likewise, 95% of Bengals fans on here never defended Mixon or Pacman.
If you want to get real...anyone that continues to watch (support) a team that has a player(s) with very questionable to deliberate acts in their past, even if they "don't defend them", are hypocrites. Every team has bad guys and fans will still watch and root for that team as long as that player helps them win. A fan isn't better or worse based on their level of support for a player, they're better or worse based on their level of support for the team. You can talk about Rice never playing another down, but Suggs and Lewis played many more downs for them. Same thing for Pacman and Mixon for the Bengals. Video evidence doesn't make the act more heinous.
I really don't want to get in some big debate about this because it bores me to tears. Not the acts, the "discussion" and hypocritical allowances.
