I just hate how hypocritical people are to domestic violence in the NFL. I'm sure you didn't give a shite when the video was kept under wraps.

I've posted the CBS article SEVERAL times previously when people bring up Mixon. It shows just how callous his attitude was toward his actions. It shows that probably the only thing he learned, was to fake remorse so no one bothers him about it.

Just like I know you don't give a shite that Tyreek Hill beat the frick out of his pregnant girlfriend and yet is now an all-pro type player. There was no video..

---

How do you know my attitude toward Tyreek Hill? Guess what I didn't know who the hell Tyreek Hill was until the end of last season. Then I found out about his violence and was disgusted.

No matter how skilled or dangerous he is with the ball in his hands, I don't want him representing the Saints. PERIOD.

Don't presume to judge me on double standards.

This is exactly what you wrote:

The fact of the matter is he did NOTHING wrong.

This is disgusting and you should rightfully be ashamed. I can see why you deleted it from your post.

Don't push that he made a mistake when you clearly think he did nothing wrong. Don't tuck your tail now and change your post. Go ahead and argue that a 6'1" 209 lb RB deserved to hit the 5'6" 130 lb woman because she slapped him.

Ill draft him! Hes like a bigger stronger version of sprols

Saints met with Joe Mixon tonight... by Fun Bunch
The PR hit isn't even close to worth it. We are talking protests, stories constantly showing the video, teammates being asked about it, former players being pissed, on and on.

Every time he has a good game: here comes the video. Forever.

Not worth it.

Hyperbolic and illogical. If there's anything people care about more than domestic violence, it's dogs. There were protesters and coverage in the streets about Mike Vick, initially. But the protesters and newsworthiness faded. It only stays relevant if Mixon does something stupid.

I'm not even saying draft him. I like Marlon Mack better. But Mixon can play. He would help. Ingram will probably not like it. But he wouldn't like the idea of us taking any back.

yes this wasn't domestic violence. it was just a guy punching a girl he didn't really know

if this was some random straight dude, esp a black one, nobody would give a single frick by now

do i defend his actions? no

do i think his life should be tainted b/c of this one big mistake? no

That thug isn't worth the bad PR. Like others have said, he wasn't even remorseful until someone told him it would hurt him in the draft.

i would certainly draft him if he somehow slipped to the 3rd

this isn't a lawrence philips where he had a history of this. it was one incident

he is a RB though, so i don't value him that highly. in the 3rd? oh yeah

To be fair, he has more than one incident. He tore up a parking citation and threw it in the parking officer's face. he was suspended for that. This was just last year, well after the assault incident.

I just don't like how he reacted after all of this. He didn't give a frick and showed no remorse whatsoever until his draft stock might be effected.

I don't care if guys are Boy Scouts. They don't need to be. This is just something I wouldn't want to deal with, especially at a position where guys are a dime a dozen.

That means we are drafting De De Westbrook

He had a legal standing until he punched her in the face

He also supposedly threw a parking ticket in the face of an attendant then inched his car at the person in a threatening way

I'd personally rather not have him on the Saints from a fan perspective. That goes for the other players listed with similar issues too.
