MIxon is a COWARDLY POS....I dare you to watch this video and disagree:

Give me Robinson and Lawson if that's the way the draft goes.

Also if foreman slips to the 3rd I'd really like to consider him

I've watched the video before. I one hand I think he is a punk; however, she pushed him and then grabbed his neck. Most people are going to have a hard time not responding to that type of aggressive behavior. I would have expected him to just push her away instead of taking a swing at her, but I just don't think you can initiate physical contact even if you're a woman and not expect any response. The girl should have just called the law if she felt threatened.

I think we would need the complete story to really know what happened. Who really started it. The girl and guy claim Mixon and friends were harassing them because the guy was gay. Mixon claims the guy used a racial slur. I think we all know that if a white guy uses a racial slur when confronting a group of young black guys that he's probably going to get his arse whipped.

Regardless of blame, I would not want the Cowboys to draft this player. It's just too much of a PR nightmare with the video. Let him go to Jacksonville or somewhere that the media does not cover. Then he'll actually have some money if the girl is awarded damages in her lawsuit against him.

If the player is smart, he would get PR help and do something to show remorse even if he feels that she initiated the physical confrontation. Assuming that he is on an NFL roster, he should settle out of court with the girl and then publicly donate money to some cause that supports violence against women. It's what Greg Hardy should have done. I think there is a good chance that Hardy's girl set him up, but he still should have gotten a PR adviser and should have said he would donate all of his 2016 salary to a cause that supports violence against women if a team would sign him. Instead he did an interview where he didn't show remorse and it just helped seal his fate in terms of not being in the NFL.

First jacking with a gay guy sets the atmosphere of ignorance.
Then the girl pushes him and it looks like slaps him. Mixon over retaliates.
It;s thug behavior. It's not cool and we will not draft him.

That's some weak sauce right there. Regardless of whether a woman touches you or not, you can't take a swing at her. He's a jack thug and I don't want him part of this franchise.

Yes, absolutely no excuse for this lunacy, that is sub human behavior on display.

It's easy to be on a high horse but not everyone that makes a heat of the moment mistake is a bad person.

I think many young guys that get pushed and then grabbed by the neck could react in a way that they would not if they had time to think about it, especially if alcohol was involved. He deserves to face the consequences but it's not as cut and dried as that he just hit her.

Society should not be condoning Women initiating physical contact and then expecting zero consequences.

The friend of the girl would not fare any better against a college football player; however, if that little guy pushed the player and grabbed his neck, then most people would say he started it and deserved to get hit.

I don't want this player on the Cowboys roster because of the PR issues.

People love to spout out absolutes like "never do such and such" because it makes them feel authoritative and superior to other people.

Also in the video she waved him over to her.
Then pushed / grabbed and slapped.

He's no perfect person.

Is there audio?
