Joe Mixon Says He Broke That Girl's Face With His Fist Because "It Felt Like A Dude" That Hit Him

Washington Post - On July 25, 2014, Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon punched a woman named Amelia Molitor so hard that it broke multiple bones in her face. Three days later, he told police in Norman, Okla., that he simply was reacting to both a racial slur uttered by one of Molitor’s companions and what he described as a hard swing Molitor took at him.

The Oklahoman obtained video footage of the police interview and published a partial transcript this week:

“The gay dude … he called me something,” Mixon said in the video. “He was like (slur). So then I was like, you got me messed up. And then I called him a (slur). And after that, the girl, she dropped her purse, that’s when she came in my face, pushed me, and then my glasses came off, and then, like, I had, like, jumped at her, like, to watch out. And then she came in my face. I put my head down. And she swung on me.

“And after that, like, I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard. It felt like a dude hit me. And after that, like, my face went boom, my reaction was just right there.” …

“I mean, even though she pushed me, I didn’t think she was going to hit me,” Mixon said, repeating what he said earlier in the interview. “I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard, it felt like really like a dude hit me. And then, like, my face just started ringing. And after that, like, it was just like a reaction.”

You make the call – Mike Tyson, or drunk college girl?

Enhance.

Wow, I can see why Joe Mixon snapped like that. Must have gotten confused and thought he was in an MMA ring or something, just pure instinct to defend yourself after a devastating blow like that. Credit to him for keeping his feet, lot of guys would be out cold on the floor after a vicious neck smack.

You would think a dude whose career is running full speed through 350 pound lineman and getting smashed into 30-40 times a game by athletic specimens made of pure muscle and adrenaline and testosterone would not be quite as phased by the open hand slap to the neck from a drunk girl who weighs 100 pounds less than him. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned from the internet commenters on this story it’s that there is no such thing as the phrase “appropriate reaction” and that in this crazy 2016 world of “equality” and shit, if a woman puts her hands on you, no matter how softly, you have now earned the right to haul back and knock her fucking jaw off her face. So Joe Mixon should have no issue getting off on this one.
