Oklahoma Sooners running back Joe Mixon spoke Friday for the first time since the video of him striking a female in the face in 2014 went public last week.

An emotional Mixon, who was suspended for the 2014 season because of the incident, apologized Friday to the victim (Amelia Molitor), his teammates, the fans and his mother.

“It’s never, never OK to retaliate and hit a woman the way I did," Mixon said. "I’m here to apologize to everyone who was affected by it.”
