Good on them. Now hopefully the rest of the league will not seek his services.
Edit- Social media platforms once again allow an idiot to end his career by putting on display his true character.

Look.. I’m certainly not gonna make excuses for the guy, but we have all thought of saying horrible things when we get frustrated.. the NFL is a highly scrutinizing sport if you make mistakes. I guess you can make the argument that you shouldn’t play in the NFL if you can’t handle it.. but we’re all human, and we all have a breaking point. I guess he just reached his.
Like I said, I don’t think it excuses the sentiments he made. But I can understand being so overwhelmingly frustrated that you want to say some really terrible things. Now whether those things entail racial elements, I suppose is up to the individual. It will be a hard lesson for him, as the NFL is extremely tough about “protecting the shield”
If he’s a good enough player, and this is his only incident however, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him quietly sneak back into the league. Guess we’ll see

I don't care what you say. Putting [BLEEP] like that out on social media is just D...U...M...B. Yet players keep doing it.

Social media is, for the most part, the absolute worst thing going right now. Facebook is a political disaster where everyone including their grandmother gets in arguments and neither side knows what their saying. Twitter has people who will write to athletes that they should kill themselves for missing a shot or a kick. Instagram is basically just pictures so I guess it's not that bad.
But overall, it's a nightmare.

My response to that last sentence of yours belongs on the political message board. So I won't say it. But you know what it is.

You may have changed it, but you didn't fix anything. I personally don't care what some regular Joe Schmo thinks. If you're in the public eye, you have to be a moron to post some of the [BLEEP] that these idiots are posting. Use a little common sense. Of course, that doesn't exist with many of these dimwits.

It's one thing to think something and/or to say it in the privacy of your own home, car, etc., and a very different thing to share it for all the world to see. I didn't see it but evidently it was bad enough for the Browns to fire him immediately. Good for them.

Bigoted [BLEEP] stain.
Shaking my head in dismay.

So apparently someone showed up to the Browns practice facility to fight Whitehead but unfortunately he wasn't there because he got fired.
