On Joe Mixon, Bob Stoops and Second Chances

The Joe Mixon tape depicting a future professional football player delivering a devastating blow to the side of a small woman’s face is not really about Joe Mixon. Oh sure, those 5-10 seconds are about Joe Mixon, and they changed his life forever. As has been pointed out, just like Ray Rice will never not be the guy who dragged his wife out of an elevator on a surveillance video, Joe Mixon will never not be the guy who punched a girl in a diner in Norman, Oklahoma. He’ll wear that scarlet crimson letter forever.
