Young Sophomore College Student: I Think Joe Mixon
I Think Joe Mixon is an young Sophomore college student who thinks he is untouchable because he is an star college football player. I also think that he also just doesn't care for authority of any sort, which is now coming back to backfire on him as he starts to get noticed more in the national spotlight. I feel Stoops was a tad out of line for suspending him for the entire game I feel an half or limited series would of done just as good for an $15-20 parking citation that is on campus. Finally, I feel a lesson will not get taught to Joe Mixon if he didn't learn when he was given a second chance after striking a women he just won't learn and this will become a reoccurring theme.

    Ray Rice Domestic Violence

    Upon the release of partial video footage of the assault the NFL Commissioner, Roger Goodell, banned Rice for two games without pay and fined him $58,000. Many felt that this punishment was insufficient and this message was continued to be reinforced through constant media coverage on the matter. This then led to Goodell revising the league’s policy on assault, battery, domestic violence and sexual assault, instituting a six-game suspension for NFL personnel who violate the policy once, and a lifetime ban for those who do so twice. Although the revision seemed like a step in the right direction, what was to follow was like fuel to the fire for the media.…

    I can not say that I totally agree with the case. I do believe that this case shouldn 't have been thrown out and a thorough investigation of the bleachers should have been done. How many times has this happened? Do the school have monthly equipment checks, where they check and see what condition of their equipments including bleachers are in? What happened to Mrs. Boyer and her friends shouldn 't have happened if the school would have checked out the bleachers before the game started. The high school should at least pay for any injuries that were caused by their…

    This more moderate approach will still appeal to those who condemn Hardy, and will encourage them to buy Panthers tickets and merchandise. However, some will still feel that this punishment was too harsh, while others will consider it not harsh enough. This solution may reduce the risk of losing sponsorships but the education program for team members and foundation to support domestic violence victims will also incur…

    This time there was actual evidence and proof that he beat his girlfriend up. His girlfriend had bruises and scratches all over her body. Because of that the NFL suspended him for the first 10 game of the 2015 NFL season. it was then switched to the first 4 games of the NFL season. Why? I don't know why. The NFL is just trying to protect their players and make up for their cases. The big problem with the NFL is how they're handling this situation. They can be more involved and look at the pictures to decide that he should be suspended the whole year. Instead once again they just try to brush off the situation and act like once again everything is…

    In 1987 the National Collegiate Athletic Association (N.C.A.A.) placed its harshest football punishment in history on Southern Methodist University (S.M.U.). The repeat violator rule, also known as the “death penalty,” banned the college from playing football for all of the 1987 and only allowed to play seven games in its 1988 season. They used S.M.U. as an example of what could happen when a college excessively violates N.C.A.A. regulations. The death penalty was the last option for the university because they were already on probation for past major violations with N.C.A.A. ("SMU Football Gets," 1987, p. 1C). The only thing left of S.M.U. after receiving ‘death’ was pick up the pieces and they are still trying to put the sport back together after so many years.…

    In the 144-page report, Jonathan Martin discussed how he was repeatedly harassed during his two years with the Dolphins. Football is a process where it is similar to bullying/hazing. For example, majority of fraternities and sororities go through this process with new candidates for crossing. Even though they don’t admit it, their process is to break a candidate down then build them back up in the process. Martin has to look at the situation as if he were a candidate as well. Yes his process was way longer than a fraternity, but it’s basically the same thing. I’m sure the candidates go through the same situations and maybe even worse.…

    Baseball Scandal

    The Milwaukee Court held, “the commissioner acted clearly within his authority” (Milwaukee 7). The Court found there was no definition of what constituted “detrimental conduct” and that this was by design, to keep out court rulings. The court states that the commissioner is granted “almost unlimited discretion in the determination of whether or not a certain state of facts creates a situation detrimental to [baseball]” (Milwaukee 6). The court does set out two limits on arbitrator (and commissioner) power; the decision cannot be arbitrary or induced by fraud (Milwaukee 6). If the Milwaukee Court were to decide the NFL Management Council case they would likely hold Commissioner Goodell acted within his authority because he has the authority to determine what conduct is detrimental to the league. Most likely the only way the Milwaukee Court would overturn Goodell’s ruling is if the ruling was fraudulent…

    I agree wholeheartedly that a football player should suffer consequences such as being kicked off the football team when it comes to being found guilty of assault. It's understandable that no one wants the football team to suffer when they lose their star player, but this football player is not setting a good example to anyone by hurting others. But I do believe that they need to be found guilty of the assault and it not be just hearsay or someone falsely accusing an ex boyfriend, for example, just to get back at them.…
