Joe Mixon Has Some Issues (VIDEO)

University of Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon was suspended a full season two years ago for cold cocking a college chick in the face at a late night sandwich shop. Coincidentally, the team decided that Mixon’s suspension year would also be his redshirt Freshman year meaning he’d still have four years to run the hell out of the ball for the Sooners after his suspension. Somebody in the Athletics Department could’ve fudged that a little to make it slightly less obvious. 

The security cam footage of the incident was initially sequestered by the judge in the case, but since the chick with the four fractured bones in her face leveled a civil suit, Mixon’s legal team urged the court to release the tape to the public. They feel it helps to exonerate their client, despite the obvious battery. The judge balked and the tape was made public.

Mixon claims this girl’s friends were calling him a nigger and that she spat on him and provoked an altercation he wished to avoid. Her friends say he called one of them a faggot. If you’re looking out for your own well being, one of those sounds like a much worse idea than the other. What’s clear from the video is the woman he punched out, Amelia Molitor, initiated the physical contact by pushing him and slapping him in the face. His reaction bests Hiroshima, as if knocking out a white chick was number one on his bucket list. Nonetheless, if you don’t want to get punched, you shouldn’t assault other people. Not to excuse what Mixon did, but too many women think they’re entitled to this privilege of free shots to the face. Certainly there are women who can beat up men. If this was just a guy who couldn’t fight, people would say he was asking for it. 

Mixon’s subsequently been kicked out of his campus apartment for not paying rent. So this guy’s issues aren’t just limited to scenes from a shitty Spike Lee joint. Perhaps the landlord spit in his face and hurled racial slurs at him. Psychopaths make the best athletes. Mixon will almost certainly slip into the later rounds, be drafted by the Patriots, and become the best back in the league.
