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
