I am curious to see what
@Pwingles thinks. In the Mixon punch thread he made a comment on page 10 regarding that there is no difference between hitting a man or a woman, and either of those instances should result in the athlete being "Ray Riced." Ray Rice's, Mixon's, and Elliot's punch have a lot in common with the obvious exception for the gender of the victim.
Ray Rice got a year suspension and was blackballed by the league
Mixon was suspended for a year in college
Elliot... we will see
That being said, there may be people who honestly think he
should get suspended for 11+ games. Based on the precedent set when hitting women, it could earn one a year suspension if we are considering all episodes of assault "gender neutral"
FWIW I hold the opinion a grown man hitting a woman is much more egregious than a grown man hitting a grown man
