Although I do not agree with what he did, I can understand it. The woman in question punched him in the face before he ever laid a hand on her. Why is that ok? Why isn't anyone outraged over this woman attacking him? I think it was a reactive punch to getting attacked. The punishment he received was more than enough under the circumstances.

Am I missing something here? Did he punch another woman again or something else I am not hearing about? Dude was disassociated from the team for a year for what he did. Seems like a fitting punishment.
He didn't kill anyone. He struck someone who struck him first. Am I condoning hitting a woman, hell no. But the dude did his time if he's not done anything else.

A tape of it was just released the other day.
I think Stoops did all he could do. He can't realistically go back and impose more punishment. Media needs to move on from it.
I think we should change it from "never hit a lady" to "just give a hefty shove or a hard slap when someone who is obviously over-matched hits you first". Bit wordy, I guess...
I don't think she deserved to have her jaw broken, but all this "he hit a woman!!!" **** is a bit misleading as to what actually happened and purposely leaves out all the context.
Also, is it true that someone with the chick called him a ninja?

I know, but again, am I missing something here? No facts of the matter changed by it going public. Media and whiners need to move on. As a coach, Stoops is trying to save the kid from this situation. He punished him, and hopefullly helped him learn from it. What does the public want? To ban him from football and hope he just becomes a better person?
I don't think you're missing anything. It's like with the Ray Rice video where it looks worse than what people had thought in their heads. I thought Stoops handled it well.
That'll teach her not to f*** with Joe Mixon again.
There's no context. He should be in jail. Someone who faces 250 lb linebackers not having the capacity to understand that a.) that woman is NOT a threat and b.) that he as an elite athlete has a responsibility to not use that much force.
Yes she should be delt with by police or whatever but all that would be assuming he acted as someone with half a brain and restrained her until she stopped. Not literally breaking her face. Good grief what a sad reaction by people even remotely justifying his doing that. Sad

I think the table she hit did more damage than the punch. Would we be having this discussion if it were a man he hit? Are women equal in the eyes of the law or not? Cant have it both ways.
we would not be having this discussion if it were a man or if she had a weapon. But she didn't. I find it hard to believe that anyone would think that a woman like that could pose a threat. And he used the accusation that she used racial slurs after HE went to her table. As if anyone calling anyone a name justifies THAT. But it does to a lot of people which is why we are where we are as a society.
Feminism is a cancer. I know that. I absolutely say that the male in almost every species on Earth are engineered to be the fighters, the protectors. That is why it is so wrong in my opinion to see a man capable of so much damage mauling a harmless woman like that. Yes absolutely men and women are different and to see him do that to someone who poses no threat to him is pretty sickening. THe only thing more sickening is people saying "that's what equality looks like". I know liberals are ruining everything but please we should do everything to let young men know that women are very very different and always will be.
I agree with you that women should be protected by law. Saying that, we should stop being hypocrites by saying that women are equal.They are or they are not.
So, from this post;
Women are not equal to men.
Ignore the fact that she battered him prior to his reaction.
Racial slurs are ok as long as you have a ******.
Got it.
i bet she thinks twice before she considers swinging on a big *** dude again.
How do you know she is "harmless", or "poses no threat"? She struck him in the face and was clearly escalating until he put her night-night. Who is to say she stops at hitting the face had he not retaliated. Is she no longer a threat or harmless if she tried to scratch his eyes out? Reach in her purse for something? I'm sorry, but when you poke a bear, it is on you if the bear attacks. She poked and got a bear claw to the face.
Bob Stoops admitted after the video was released that Mixon would be dismissed from the team if the punch happend today. Attitudes were a lot different way back in July of 2014 and he probably was punished more severely by the woman friendly OU coaching staff and administration
Battery is not usually that severe of a crime. I think I would try to rehabilitate him before giving up. One punch to a girl who attacked him first and racial slurs in his direction to agitate him does not really warrant putting him in the same company with Charles Manson.
But hey, if you want to condemn him, go ahead. I'm sure you've never made a mistake you wish you could take back. Must be a nice life.
OK. From the video I see, both parties antagonized one another and exercised poor judgment. The girl says there were derogatory comments made about the girl's gay friend outside. They came inside to separate themselves from the verbal abuse. You see Mixon come in, inviting the confrontation, and hovering behind the gay friend, and the gay friend keeping his back toward Mixon, being as non-confrontational as he can be. According to the girl and her friend's account, Mixon called the gay male a "******,"
I must say, I have a lot of respect for the girl, who stood up for her gay friend, who was not intimidated and did not hesitate to confront the injustice and the bullying. On the other hand, she very unintelligently initiated the violence, and you take your opponent as you find them. I think a majority of men would shove the woman away in that situation, but some would do as Mixon does, and it's not entirely unjustified. There were also allegations of the "n" word being used by the gay male, so that might have contributed to the level of force used in response.
As the song goes, there ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy.

This thread is very different than the one on the football board. Could some of you go over there and post these takes so I can sit back and enjoy the opposing viewpoints freaking out? Thanks
If you hit a woman period, you're a *****.
I've been hit by females before (had a big mouth back in the day, especially while drinking), and it never came close to hurting enough that I'd even consider throwing a punch back at her.
Mixon's taken harder shots in two-hand touch football. No excusing or defending him. Sorry.

What about hitting a tranny? i mean they consider themselves a woman. but they have a penis. can you hit them without everyone freaking out?
Oh yes, I've made mistakes I wish I could take back. However, I can truthfully say it never included assault and battery on anyone.
Is hitting a woman and breaking bones in her face a "mistake"? Please consider him condemned by me, and I'm proud to say so. You said go ahead, so I am.
Bet he wouldn't punch a man his size that way.
And yes, my life is a nice one. Yes it is.
Merry Christmas!
thanks everyone for the comments. when I started this thread I didn't know if anyone would see the incident as I did but I see that a lot of people do. When she attacked him she asked for what happened next. Im sure he wishes she had not been hurt so badly as do I, but maybe now she will think twice about attacking someone
except humans aren't bears. I'd like to think that humans are more civilized. However, looking at who hit the girl, I do not know if he is more civilized than a bear. You could easily make an argument he is not. Then the question is, do we want people in our society who would literally break someone's face over harmless slaps? I urge you too look past the idea of "equality". That's a liberal idea, and liberal ideas have a great tendency to F everything up. In this case, we have people who are sadly saying "that's what you get" about a GIRL.
The reason I know she's harmless is b/c I can judge how much she weighs, which has a great deal to do with generating power and I can draw those conclusions in my head instantaneously. apparently this highly trained athlete cannot. Jesus.
It was a heated mistake, partially brought on by the fact he was shoved and slapped in the face first you closet racist. Comparing him to a bear, good lord. This board is embarrassing when it comes to stuff like this. I'd never hit a woman unless I truly felt like I had to defend myself, but I'm not going to lead the charge to ruin this kid's life forever all because this poor wittle white girl got punched. If she's so helpless and weak, which I'm not arguing, maybe she shouldn't initiate a shove, a slap to face, and get in the face of someone who hasn't initiated any contact with her and who is also five times stronger than she is. Darwin Award winner right there.
I didn't' compare him to a bear. The other poster said you poke a bear this is what you get. I was just furthering the bear narrative and the fact it'd be nice to be civilized enough to know:
A. you possess great power
B. This girl does not pose any threat what so ever.
People are justifying bodily harm to someone b/c of an attitude of "that's what you GET!" That's ego man, that's a power trip and that ain't right to break a girl's face over.
The table broke her face. The irony here is that you think you're being noble but it's actually more sexist than the opposite takes. Was the force excessive? Sure maybe a ***** slap was in order. But she learned there are consequences for her actions. You can't go around calling people racial slurs and slapping em. eff her.
