[LOCKED] Infamous Joe Mixon tape finally released
The infamous tape of Joe Mixon punching a woman in 2014 has finally been released to the public.
Oklahoma's president, AD, and Stoops all saw this tape and felt a 1-year suspension was fine.
MOD EDIT - Locking and leaving. The comments, well, I'll put it this way: we're doing this for the board's sanity. - LSA

Stuff like this sort of makes you want to go back a few years where her dad, brothers, some family friends could go pay a visit to Joe and handle this outside of court.

i'm not sure how he is referencing anything other than the KKK.
December 16th, 2016 at 6:44 PM ^
I don't see how that doesn't warrant getting kicked out of the University.
That punch could have killed her. Then he just walks away. Jesus. I hope he doesn't get a chance to play football ever again.

She pushed him (assault) and then hit him (assault) with her right.
He then responded with overwhelming force with predictable results.
Mixon plead guilty, paid $1,200 fine, but did not go to jail, as part of that guilty plea deal.
He has a criminal record now and this is going to follow him around for the rest of his life. Good luck getting a decent job anywhere after decking a girl.

As for girls pushing and hitting guys in anger and then expecting a chivalrous response, those days appear to be over.

Indeed.

She got up, approached him as he was moving away, pushed him and hit him. If it were a male you would all say he deserved to get punched. Women need to stop thinking they can get away with that crap.

The soap box is now empty for the next gentleman.

I'm probablly going to get sent to Bolivia for this, and maybe I rightfully should. What Mixon did is inexcusable and he deserves to get punished, and punished hard. Normal rational people do not punch women like this. That being said, I don't think however he, nor should the OU athletic department get Ray Riced over this.
1.) The woman got knocked out bad, however if you watched, Mixon tried to initially walk away. I don't know if it is true or not, but Mixon has said multiple times both in court and in official statements that the woman at this moment said something racist (considering it is Oklahoma, it wouldn't be that surprising). The woman also goes back towards him. Mixon then went on the offensive to get away from her by fake lunging at her, likely to try to scare her or intimadate her to back down. Rather than sensing a pissed off/threatened person, the woman then initiates the violence by striking him. Mixon then responded back by knocking her out. It could have been a panicy/booze filled reaction and/or a shit human being move.
2.) As I said, Mixon should be punished for it, and he has. This will stay with him for the rest of his life, effecting job employment status, this is going to cost him milions in NFL draft money, and he had to sit out an entire season (OU suspended him). OU and Bob Stoops is punished by missing out on a season of a five star player. Stoops usually gives players 1 strike, and after that they are done. Mixon has no record of criminal history and reports say he is even viewed as a leader in the lockerroom.
In no way do I mean to come off as defending his actions, but I think this is a bit different than Ray Rice.

I think that that's a fair point. I think these are just two really dumb kids who both made mistakes. Both kids here were drinking, and imature (Mixon was a true freshman when this happended). I think both thought they were in the right, but immaturity and alcohol can be a lethal combination and it caoused these two people to not think logically (granted Mixon and/or the girl could just simply be shit human beings)
December 16th, 2016 at 7:02 PM ^
I don't know that I agree with you, but I don't think your comment is Bolivia material or anything like that.
I do rankle a bit at the stereotypical conceit that states like Oklahoma are largely racist and less enlightened. Kind of a prejudicial sentiment in itself. She may well have said something racist and may be one, but the combination of anger and alcohol can prompt that sort of speech just as much in Ann Arbor or Los Angeles as in Norman.
December 16th, 2016 at 7:06 PM ^
Incidents such as the SAE fraternity video have shown that their are racists that do attend The University of Oklahoma. Having lived in Oklahoma, I personally think it is more racist then Ann Arbor. That being said, the vast majority of people there are good, genuine human beings.
December 16th, 2016 at 6:51 PM ^
The force he responded with was very clearly excessive. That being said, is a man suppose to stand there and be assaulted?
HYPOTHETICAL:
What if she had pulled a knife on him? Would the punch then be appropriate?
December 16th, 2016 at 6:56 PM ^
It can't be argued that he was in danger. It wasn't a situation where he couldn't "escape" and had to "defend himself".
He could have walked away. He could have pushed her off him and left. He could have handled it in a million ways that were mature and within the confines of the law and didn't end up with a girl getting knocked out cold by an elite athlete.
Introducing a weapon obviously changes the calculus. As it stands, his fists and his strength are weapons in their own right.

If she pulled a knife, sure. She didn't pull a knife, she attempted a half-hearted slap to his neck.
That may or may not be appropriate provocation for some sort of physical response. It is a long way from being a knife, which is immediately life-threatening.

You might not have been trying to defend Joe Mixon but that's exactly what you did. There's no reason to bring up some completely hypothetical situation.

Depends what was said. If a white woman calls a black dude some racist shit and then walks up to him and slaps him in the face, I mean that is subhuman shit

Mixon claimed in court and in official statements that something racist was said. Obviously we MgoBloggers have no way of confirming that, but incidents such as the SAE fraternity show that racists are on the campus of The University of Oklahoma.
December 16th, 2016 at 7:08 PM ^
December 16th, 2016 at 7:37 PM ^
and i would consider punching them in the face
December 16th, 2016 at 7:09 PM ^
Forget what he claimed. What did the witnesses say they heard? That kind of matters.

The Colorado incident comes to mind as a recent male on male fight. The victim was arrested for drug possession afterwards. Not apples to apples, but it is something that came to mind.

Obviously he knew her/the group of people, as he followed them in the establishment.
She was obviously upset about something, and he looked upset walking in as well.
She must have said some pretty nasty stuff (assume racist), slapped him, and pushed him. Also lunged at him.
He lunges at her in hopes of scaring her straight. That didn't work, and she looked ready to hit him again.
RIGHT HERE: WALK OUT THE DOOR!
Simple as that! WALK OUT THE DOOR!
If she follows him, threatens him, etc, then call 911 and continue to keep a distance between you and her.
Simple solution.
December 16th, 2016 at 7:31 PM ^
I don't care I was downvoted, but I'd love to hear why this is such a bad option for a man in that situation:
Walk away. Leave the building. Call 911. Tell them there is a drunk racist lady being physically aggressive towards him and he feels he is in a dangerous situation.
Walk away until the police show up. Witnesses and video show she was the aggressor, she attacked him, and he remained calm.
She gets sentenced and he continues on his path to the NFL.
What am I missing?
The only reasonable situation to knock her out cold is if she had a visible weapon and was going to use it on him. Otherwise, let the authorities sort this mess out.

OR he could have called 911, saying some drunk racist drugged up women was attacking him and he felt he was in danger.
Make the call, then distance yourself from her.
Crisis averted.
