ESPN ran an infographic about the Joe Mixon timeline since he punched that woman. Had kind of an upbeat music bed underneath it. Musberger then went on to say he hears Mixon is doing well and wishes him a long NFL career.

Twitter then exploded about how wrong it is to normalize violence against women (which of course it is), Musberger found out somehow and then dug his heels in on what he said.

Not only that but Jesse palmer and musberger were "hopeful that he had a long NFL career". That's really what the backlash was all about. It seemed very dismissive of mixon's actions.

I get it--people make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance but let's just leave this one alone. I mean, make an example of him on the national stage but don't go on to sing his praises on the football field.

Is it just me, or do football players go for head shots even more now than they used to? It's like with all the concussion awareness they see it as a way to get guys out of the game and they don't flag it near as much as a few years ago.
