On this year's ESPN broadcast of the Sugar Bowl, commentator Brent Musburger recounted the story of Oklahoma Sooners running back Joe Mixon physically beating a female student. Like most viewers my immediate thought was "how is she doing/coping?" How has that brutal incident affected her school year. Musburger though gave us a different view. He went on at great length to proudly defend Mixon, saying "the young man is doing well, by all accounts". Then stated what a good man he is and wished him nothing but success in the NFL, without ONCE sending best wishes to the female victim. Musburger is a symbol of what's wrong with the world. He openly supports the filth that tears at the fabric of society. Please help remove him from having a public voice. Musburger has a golden opportunity to use the voice he's given to make positive changes, yet he uses it to defend those criminals many of us protect our daughters from. What makes matters worse is Musburger is completely unapologetic regarding his comments. He angrily defends what he said and to further show his insensitivities, yelled at Twitter. As a father, I'm disgusted with him and would NEVER watch another ESPN broadcast with him.
