OM fans- Jeffrey Simmons say

[mstatefan91]

I'm not hitting a woman, I don't care what she says. I'm 6'2" 225+, nothing a woman says to me gives me the right to hit her. Anyone that says otherwise is a fool.

Who hasn't had a crazy girl say something stupid/insulting/awful to us at a bar? The idea of hitting her has never crossed my mind.

You were most likely raised in a different culture (you can correct me if I'm wrong). Doesn't excuse it by any means. Is what it is.

Hey Rebs, click an add while your over hear hoping that we kick our top recruit off the team so that you can re-recruit him in 8 months.

Probably raised around different types of women as well.

Let's cut this culture shit out please. I came from the same culture & beating up women isn't ok even though I've seen it. He made a mistake a terrible decision. He owned it & knew he messed up lets not throw this culture crap into this.

It plays a role whether you want it to or not. It doesn't make it right. It is context. Doesn't mean that Simmons isn't going to face consequences. Doesn't mean it was ok.

It is good that he has come out and owned his mistake. I hope he learns from it, never does anything like this again, and teaches his future children the correct way to treat a woman.

If it doesn't make it right and doesn't mean it was ok, then why continue to harp on it? No one's saying this means Simmons is a terrible person and needs to be locked away. We're just saying it was a really bad decision, a bad thing to do, and something that will have consequences. We'll see if those consequences include not being a member of the team, but it definitely will have consequences, and deservedly so.

this all day. We dont all grow up the same. Anybody that has taken psychology and sociology knows all that plays a huge part.

This situation had nothing to do with culture. It had to do with Jeffery getting so pissed he snapped. He made a terrible decision but this incident had nothing to do with culture.

So are all cultures the same? Islamic cultures are the same? C'mon man be real- cultures are different. People dont grow up the same way

I did. This wasn't because of culture it just wasn't.

Bullshit- this doesnt happen with kids that go to Jackson Academy and Prep- but it happens every day in poor small towns across Mississippi

Sigh

[HancockCountyDog]

have you ever had a 6'1- 185 pound black chick attack you? I can assure you- all situations arent the same. Black people and white people around Mississippi grow up differently. Anything saying they dont is full of shit. Its different cultures

Listen, this is my last post on this because it's not worth it.

The problem for JS is that the video doesn't have her coming at him and him defending himself, if it did I would feel better about it, still feel awful, but feel better. He is hitting her while on the ground, while another woman is beating her too.

If you are saying that in the black community it's ok for a black man to hit a black woman because she talked some shit, then you need to lock this thread up. I'm done. Long day.

Can Mullen just grayshirt him? That seems like a viable option to me. It's still like a suspension because he can't participate with the team at all in the fall, but he still gets to learn how to be a student-athlete if he plays Juco and hopefully learn how to control his emotions.

You probably believe that too.

Thats not happening in Madison

[msstate7]

I'm from a middle, white class family and I've seen more than one white dude hit a woman

[mstatefan91]

Anyway, I'm out. It was a mistake. Hope he learns from it. I'm interested in what Mullen/MSU decides to do.

Night folks
