Myles Garrett, Football Thug Richly Rewarded -- -- -- just for being Black?

[toobfreak]

I could have posted this to sports, but this is really a racial issue, because probably the most badly behaved football player in NFL history who attacked a QB, assaulted him, lied about it with unfounded racial slurs, nearly gave another player a concussion, could have ended his career, took half the team to pull them apart, got many seriously fined, and was thrown out of the game for the rest of the season, 1/3rd of it, with many wondering if he would be ejected for all time has now instead ------

------ been rewarded with THE RICHEST CONTRACT IN FOOTBALL HISTORY besides a quarterback.

Call it the George Floyd Clause.

Right skin color at just the right time. Honestly, yeah, he's a talented player, but if he had been white, he'd be toast. Everyone has to admit that what got this guy a free ride back into the game after his horrendous, shocking behavior was his being BLACK. He's not only still in footback, not only hasn't been slapped down on a short leash, not only got a contract, an extension, not only a GENEROUS extension, but was richly rewarded above and beyond all others! Wow. And it wasn't even necessary! He had two more years on his existing contract! The Browns went above and beyond out of their way to KISS HIS BLACK ASS. The stinking Browns. And let's face it, this is just one more slap in the face to a lot of other players and people sick of seeing this sort of crap all the while being told THEY are racist and are holding black people back from opportunity.

Year after year, we this this kind of unconscionable behavior from football players, rape, assault, you name it, on and off the field, pretty much nearly always a black player, and every time they get a pass. More than a pass, REWARDED.

And it is yet another black eye in the face of the NFL.

Football players are way overpaid anyway, but he is a very good player who did something so absurd, that he could have been arrested for assault, but he was fortunate that the Quarterback wasn't seriously injured and didn't press charges.

National Felons League.
Americans LOVE this stuff. No surprise. You get what you pay for.....or less.

The NFL has a very long history of ignoring criminal activity and domestic abuse in the name of profits.
You have no clue how many ex wives and girl friends have been paid to remain silent.

Michael Vick anyone?

Would rather sit on a bridge and watch shit float down the river than watch the NFL.

Let's be honest: Had that been that young white quarterback of the Steelers ripping the helmet off him and hitting him over the head with it, there is every reason to think it would have been investigated as a hate crime by the FBI and league, universally condemned as racist and hate-driven by the teams, players and fans, and he would have been forced to resign, driven out of the game. Instead, Myles was rewarded with an income FIVE-HUNDRED TIMES (500X) over what the average person makes.

What did people expect Garrett to do? Take the attack from rudolph?
This extension is probably a showing of how the team stands with him. Good deal.

No one, of course, is surprised.

It is no secret that many football players are delinquents, but their ability to make money for the team's owners override all other considerations.

This was a fight during a football game and that's all. We don't see similar references to thugs when white men are allow to be paid millions to be goons on a hockey team getting checks for starting fights. Millions of whites pay top dollar filling arenas for hockey and besides from the goals, the loudest cheers happen during the fights. So fuck the OP and his racist screed.

Mr. Garrett was the one who was banned from the last 1/3 of the season, was fined and drew no salary.

The replays makes clear he swung the helmet onto Mr. Rudolph's head, something not part of the game, and the NFL front office was concerned enough to slap him down hard.

Your silly hate and anger needs to go away.

In 2014 Greg Hardy was to play for the Dallas Cowboys until he got arrested for domestic violence.....and then his parole officer said he couldnt associate with known felons.
