The thing
I don't get about a feminist jumping in and crying foul, wouldn't (by definition) a feminist want a woman to be treated equally (as a man), thus not be upset about a man fighting a woman?

I have a cousin who's a raging feminist.
She has no problem with a male and female consenting to fight each other. But she has this weird belief that a guy shouldn’t repeatedly punch a girl who’s lying defenseless on her back. Equality my foot.

Not defending the guy, but I want to know what happened in the 30 seconds before this video started. And who is the other woman that keeps kicking after Simmons stops?
No, I just watched the videos showing that's exactly what happened. Moving pictures are worth a thousand words & whatnot.
ZING! Consenting juveniles at their finest. I wonder what was the "safe-word". Equality?**
Have you had your date with the balloon knot finger blaster yet?
You douchebags have NOOOOO room to talk.
Smarmy douchebag.

Hate agreeing with you, but I agree Simmons has no defense for his actions.
I hammered Les Miles for keeping Jeremy "statutory rape" Hill and Jalen "woman beater" Mills on the LSU team. And I have called out Hugh Freeze for keeping the "Frat Boy Beating / Spice Smoking" Nkemdiche brothers on the Ole Miss team.
Now MSU finds ourselves in a similar situation. I am for placing Simmons in Junior College for 1 year---this is his chance to better himself on the field and off the field. If he does both those things then I say recruit him back to MSU.

Don't agree with that guy. You make yourself look silly.But I want to point out that it's silly to think that Simmons will go to JUCO for just one year. That's not how things in the SEC work.
You say that you are willing to accept or forgive his actions. What's the difference between letting this happen in your own program and whatever second-rate JUCO program where the inmates run the asylum? That's the same arbitrary stipulation of a 6-month, 12-month, 18-month, 24-month, etc. probation.
After Victory Red got banned, then Bruiser, I figured I was on borrowed time. I've been hiding in the shadows, occasionally sneaking in to make bad, trying-too-hard posts before slinking back to Nafoom.
On Simmons: I'm in favor of second chances, including for him. I don't want to see his career ruined over what could've been one bad decision. But call it what it is. That wasn't a "fight" between mutual combatants (at least with respect to Simmons).
So she went from the Columbus paper to the Commercial Appeal ... a big step up. Then she went from there to the Clarion Ledger? That's a big step down. Did the CA fire her?
My big fear is that we bring Simmons to MSU in August and draw the condemnation of the media. Then Simmons doesn't pick up the defense fast enough and we Redshirt him, Simmons then in immature fashion starts Tweeting his anger about MSU and wants to transfer or stays and just becomes a "locker room cancer". Don't think a 5 star DE will Redshirt...maybe not, but Rankin a JUCO #1 ranked OT had to Redshirt last year & switching to a 3-4 Defense this year will mean more responsibility for the DE position (tougher / more complicated than what he had to deal with in High School).
You must spend all day coming up with things to worry about. You really think that of all the potential issues we will have next year, that a 5 star DE having to redshirt and also becoming a locker room cancer is one of the more probable ones?
When you say "media", do you mean the Bear controlled-media? Do you think that they will all of a sudden start writing negative articles about MSU? Will they write about how Simmons almost got a personal foul penalty for tackling the RB? Or can they print out stories even faster than before?
If it's the national media, I give you UNC and Syracuse. Nobody cases after the next semester. They will love Simmons comeback story.
Simmons should be on a short leash. But who are these "locker room cancers" you speak of? Because some immature player is looking for attention through twitter makes them a "locker room cancer?"
Why would we play anybody that can't pick up the defense? LLewis wasn't a 5-star but only a few votes off and #2 prospect in the state. He red-shirted.
All this may happen if the team and defense has no leadership. I don't see that happening.
Yeah, and most of those thousand words are emotionally charged erroneous opinions that are not the truth.
I watched this video. The incident isn't nearly what it is being betrayed as. Not the best comparison but because it was recent....even the baseball video last week of the OM/UT player confrontation was extremely exaggered by both fan bases.
To me, the Stringfellow and Elston video, of them slamming a skinny kid in the street was much more violent than this video.
If that's him in the video, he should be gone...
We gotta be better than this.
Let him go JUCO or D2 or whatever and 'get his head straight' and come back in the Summer, but come Fall 2016, he shouldn't be wearing a Mississippi State uniform. Yeah, we take the chance that Freezus sends in his Disciples to read to him from the Book of Manning and take him to Haiti and save his soul, but I can't put on my Maroon colored glasses for this.
If it costs us wins, then it costs us wins. My hypocrisy goes only so far...
That being said, I repeat "If that's him in the video". I'm not sure if WCBI intentionally made it blurrier, but I can't make out much more than an African American man and an African American woman were beating up another African American woman in a parking a lot surrounded by people, none of whom can be distinguished facially from one another.
