And yes, I’m aware that the case against Mixon was dismissed and may be refiled in the future.

Two tales of two men dealing with criminal cases of violence against women.
Sills is white & Mixon is Black.
Two stories covered & consumed differently.
I will never defend Mixon as a man. I will never defend his character, but his Blackness should be defended & protected.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but employers don’t need to wait for court verdicts to terminate their employees.
Coaches don’t need to wait for court verdicts to terminate athletic eligibility.
Universities don’t need to wait for court verdicts to expel students.

#JoshSills should be trending. The Eagles should be answering questions and so should the colleges that Sills played for from 2019 at the time of the sexual assault/kidnapping and after.

"The crime was immediately reported, and the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office conducted a detailed investigation,"
Reported & investigated in 2019. Why is he just now being indicted in 2023??

white supremacy doesn’t require you to be white just like misogyny doesn’t require you to be male.

Can someone explain, logically, how 5 black officers killing a black man is white supremacy?

It’s either Black women are invisible & erased… they’re the saviors or expected saviors… or they are to blame for everything.
The gaslighting, shaming, blaming and misogynoir that Black women deal with is like…incomprehensible. I don’t even have the words. Just wtf.

The war on women & girls is completely out of control.
And no, girls should not quit sports in protest. That won’t fix anything. What WILL work is if boys quit playing sports in support of the girls.

The shooter in California allegedly used a Cobray M11 9mm semi-automatic weapon, which allows a killer to fire 30-round magazines in rapid succession.
The weapon is illegal in nearly every developed country except the United States. cnn.com/2023/01/22/us/

Imagine telling a Black man that you can call him a racial slur bc your boyfriend is Black and then LAUGH when he says you’re being racist.
She needs to fired and Dr. Jenkins needs to be compensated.

I can't believe the racial violence I experienced at @Marriott by the front desk staff. She said I was "suspicious" & called me a racial slur. Then said her boyfriend is black, so it's okay. And laughed when I told her it was racist. Seriously, @MarriottBonvoy

It’s hard not to laugh at this PR spin
- Using the family as an actual shield
- Avoiding the word Briles in the actual tweet to skirt SEO
- Late tweet announcement
- No presser/explanation/discussion of accountability
TCU could’ve managed this in an upfront way. They haven’t.

Used to be, the easiest feat in the world was to declare oneself morally superior to Baylor.
But year by year, hire by hire, those who seemed so sure they'd never overlook what Baylor did keep doing exactly that.

Hiring staff of character matters. If you don’t focus on high quality staff that will set expectations around behavior & interpersonal violence - you will absolutely end up in a scandal. People will be harmed. Mark my words. It’s not a matter of if - it’s when.

Athletic Directors,
Who you hire matters more now than ever. College sports has always had an issue w violent athletes & coaches who enable violence or are perpetrating themselves. The NCAA has enabled it & now NIL & it’s billions of dollars has poured gasoline on that fire.

And after all of these years of him being hired over and over and over again - despite his unwillingness to hold himself accountable or prove that he’s changed - I guess my question now is
Why would he hold himself accountable when no one else will?

it’s not just about the victims & perpetrators. It’s about all of the ppl around them. WE decide what culture we live in.
Kendal has never taken accountability for his part in contributing to & maintaining a culture at Baylor that resulted in multiple lives being destroyed.

Once a man decides who he is, the 90 or the 10 - that’s when you can

Second, Most sexual violence is committed by men, but most men don’t commit sexual violence. It’s about 10% of men doing these things & 90% of our men are “good guys”. The problem within the 90% is too many men are complicit in their silence

For context, in my sessions I talk about men as the solution to sexual violence & then I tell them why I know this. First, if women alone & groups most affected by sexual violence could fix it - we would’ve already done it.

“You know, I’m part of that 90 percent. Always have been - even at Baylor” I just looked at him feeling thoroughly disgusted inside & said “I hope you take your responsibility here to these players seriously” and I walked away to talk to some players.

“Who brought me in?” He said “Art didn’t do anything wrong” it was “a conspiracy against Baylor football” bc everyone hated them - meaning other coaches & football programs. “It was a campus problem, not a football problem” Tate was later arrested for groping a high school girl
