I wrote this in the National Sandbox also:

You knew it was coming. Mr. Garrett completely lost his mind for one fleeting second. Honestly, I wasn't as shocked by it as many others. It's a violent game played by grown men. Shit happens. Hell.....we've had players such as James Harrison and Hines Ward play for my Steelers. THe term "those who live in glass houses. comes to mind". And Rudolph did start it.
BUT.......how and why on earth could a white dude call a NFL football player the N-word on a field with 15-20 other black men all around him. Let alone the complete lack of respect he would have in the locker room.
PLEASE.....give me a break. This has nothing to do with the helmet to the head, I have ZERO respect for Myles Garrett!!! He's had microphones in his face for a week and today he plays the race card and try to ruin a mans career and reputation. This shit is too easy to do and happens way to much. BULLSHIT!

As with Jussie Smollett losing his job. Garrett should be banned from the NFL. He used a lie in an attempt to soften his punishment for a crime he committed. That demeans those that have really experienced racist acts.

When in doubt, play the race card.

The Browns are my new team now. Acting like the Bungles swinging helmets and stuff. Gotta love O-HI-O!

None of us were there, but some of us are 100% sure the white guy didn’t say the n-word, and angry enough to post about it.

correct..........the nfl investigated the allegation and found no truth to it.....you dont find it strange that not one other player on the field heard it being said? and that "white guy" as you put it, plays on a team with alot of diversity.... he is not stupid

It's a ridiculous claim. No one is going to throw out a racial slur and have it be heard by only it's recipient. Plus it would be too risky to have your own teammates hear you say it!

On top of that, people who use that type of language usually do it because they didn't grow up with friends, peers, and mentors of different races. Elite NFL players grew up on the field with brothers or all backgrounds, making they very unlikely to throw around racial slurs.

I was disappointed by the violence, and it made me happy they were going to test MG for steroids, but I am DISGUSTED by his allegation.

He's a football player not a physician

Even if he was called the "N" word. There is absolutely no excuse for what he did, hope his suspension lasts thru next season also. The league(and Browns) are better without him.

Garrett is out of his mind on the field yet says nothing to his teammates, coaches or referees about the so called slur. He gives an interview after where he includes an apology to Rudolph. Why the fuck would he apologize if this was true. Says nothing all week about a slur, again his teammates didn’t even know.
Nothing....until he throws it out there when meeting the NFL with a lot of money at stake. He and you could care less about ruining Rudolph’s reputation and career.
Wake up dude!
Angry? I was...now I just get even by voting for Trump! Lol
Racial divide gets wider and wider.

There is no racial divide America has been the same from Reagan all the way to Trump. News shows just need something to talk about.

It’s nice to see someone admit to voting for Trump out of racial resentment. You seem like an objective analyst when it comes to issues of race.

When I see one African American not wearing a Steeler jersey have the balls to be a little more “objective” when the race card is played, then maybe I’ll be also.
Don’t hold your breath.

But my steelers won today so not all bad. Although it’s hard to lose to the Bungles. 😆
