What are your thoughts on the Joe Mixon situation? (Details )

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I went to view videos. I saw the punch, the discussion with the cops, the apology, and some differing feedback from different sources after the apology. I think the apology was lame, and late. That girl should not have to share an apology with his team, his school, his family. He even said, ”...but most of all, to my family…” He also attempted to make it sound like self defense. It all erupted from he and friends disrespecting her friend (who didn’t get an apology). She and her friend left whatever was being said, and went inside a place to vent, and chill. He entered, following them, negating their attempt to escape his behavior. While it is true she struck first, his punch was retaliation-escalation, not self defense. I see his apology not as regret that he’d hit her, he still attempted to make an excuse for that. He was apologizing for the camera catching him do it, displaying how hard she went down. He was sorry for getting caught, not for hitting the girl, or harrassing her friend. His attack was aggressive, and unrestraned. He marched into that place, approached her table, with attitude, and uninvited. By contrast, his apology was lame. If he were accepted to any school, any team, there should be no scholarship offered.
