"Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett used a helmet to take a swing at Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the final seconds of the Browns' 21-7 win over the Steelers on "Thursday Night Football" in Week 11. Garrett's actions led to a suspension that will keep him out for the remainer of the 2019 season. "

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Reverse the colors and this would be frontpage news for months ... like the Smollett hoax was.

Granted I don’t watch that much TV but it seems to me this story has been getting a lot of national attention. It can be hard to take race out of the equation in a lot of things but one of the beauties of sports is on the field it’s about competition and race doesn’t matter. I mean look at Pouncy, who is black, getting suspended for defending Rudolph and attacking Garrett.
To me this was a football thing, not a racial thing.

Wow, first I've heard about it. That rabid dog should be jailed.
Yep, reverse the situation and the faux poutrage would overwhelm every lamestream network for months. For this, crickets.

Garrett won’t play football this season and maybe never.
He should be sued for criminal assault.
It’s similar to a baseball player taking a bat to the mound and assaulting him with it.

I highly doubt race had anything to do with it, but if it was a white guy beating on a black player, well, the racist (Kaeperdick and) liberals...
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

What an idiotic comment.
I'm in no way defending or condoning what Garrett did.
AFAIC, he should be heavily fined, suspended without pay for the rest of the season then cut from the team. If another team wants to hire him, fine.
But to compare a blow from a lightweight plastic helmet to a blow from a heavy, solid pine bat is nonsense.
C'MON MAN!!!!

For months??
Exaggerate much?
If the racial component were reversed and it happened during a game related scuffle like this incident did, it likely wouldn't have gotten any more or any less coverage than it has.
You righties are just looking for something to complain and play the victim card about.
Faux poutrage.
C'MON MAN!!!!

SO boys will be boys doesn't apply to 'black ones'? FINE the shit out of him and let him sit out a couple of games. You know like they do when WHITE players fight.

I don’t see how this has anything to do with Kaep. There were a number of current and ex black players who spoke out and said Garrett should be fined, suspended and possibly never play again.
Garrett wasn’t trying to make a political point. This was a heat of the moment fight in a game which escalated to him using a helmet as a weapon. Nothing racial about that.
