Several Oxford sports bars have claimed they will not follow the footsteps of the Mugshots Grill & Bar in Tupelo, which recently decided to stop airing NFL games.
The manager for the Mugshots Tupelo location, Jason Simmons, stated on the restaurant’s Facebook page why it chose to make the decision.
When asked to comment further, Simmons declined.
The post has received more than 3,000 likes, 700 comments and 4,288 shares at the time of publication. The graphic has sparked robust discussion, much of it critical.
The general manager for the Mugshots Oxford location, Mitchial Skipper, said he agrees with the restaurant’s stance but thinks it could be a poor business decision.
