Odell Beckham Jr.’s 1-game suspension has been upheld
“To depict this as Odell Beckham being wrong and the only one wrong, is not right”.
Wing’s account came only hours before appeals officer James Thrash upheld Beckham’s one-game National Football League suspension for multiple violations of player safety rules in Sunday’s game. Wing said the Panthers player told Beckham, “I’ll be the reason you don’t play today…” On ESPN’s Mike & Mike radio show, Norman said: “The insane part about all the unsportsmanlike conducts, I was just trying to be myself at the end of the day”.
“I think that’s any athlete’s mindset”, said Osweiler, who will make his sixth consecutive start Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals. As a head coach, I feel responsible for our players. “People expect better from me, and I expect better from myself”.
But even if Norman or any other Panthers player did not say those things, other comments from Norman and Carolina safety Cortland Finnegan are just as disturbing.
New York Giants’ Odell Beckham Jr had a physical battle with Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman but should he have been ejected from the game?
He will not be allowed to play in Sunday night’s game against the Vikings at Minnesota.
The bat was a symbolic prop used by the defensive backs for weeks to mean hitting a home run or bringing the wood.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said his players denied using any slurs toward Beckham and suggested the accusation could be an attempt at spin control. But Beckham’s reaction, his suspension and the presence of baseball bats pregame should not completely erase the fact that Norman (and others) just don’t know when to shut up.
The New York Giants continue to offer strong public support for star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.as the receiver appealed his one-game suspension for his actions during Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Norman had been critical of Beckham’s ego-centricity and style prior to the two teams’ meeting in Week 15. During preseason, Beckham said he was being targeted, and that defenders were hitting him more than making plays on the ball.
Wing said he didn’t remember hearing any homophobic slurs.
“I’ve seen some of the clips, but honestly they’re benign”.
“As we go through the week we’ll determine that, some of that has to do with Brian Hoyer and his ability to be cleared”, O’Brien said.
Norman himself was penalized twice for personal fouls in the game.
