Well, I think the narrative is that it takes two to tango and they were both mixing it up. But OBJ was 10X the aggressor. _
rest of the season? come on man. I hate that clown more than anyone but this is still the game of football. norman got under his skin so he got overly aggressive in a game designed for men to be aggressive. 1 game makes sense. the punishment fits the crime
Giants are in the middle of a true shit show... and I'm really enjoying it... Imagine how this would be playing out if the Giants weren't so classy?
I'd like to see the NJ District Attorney say something like he is looking into charges for that act like I've heard others have done for shit that happens in an NHL game.
I think Odell bitcham should also have to sit through that bombfest to be, "Concussion". The fresh prince hasn't made a good movie in a decade. If however, Bitcham had done this to Tom Brady as the teams were shaking hands after the game earlier this season, I would have no problem with his actions at all.
It seems like there's a high probability that some vile thing were said to Beckham regarding his sexuality. If so he still shouldn't have had a carte blanche reaction. Maybe it's a case of easier said than done. If true my stance on him softens up a little, but still had to be suspended. The NFL should investigate and if they find anyone guilty of throwing out homophobic rhetoric said person should have some consequences.
Here's what I don't understand. Calling Beckham gay justifies his reaction? If he's not gay, isn't Beckham's behavior a severe over-reaction, that would be a criminal act if performed off a football field? And if he is gay, wouldn't it have been better retribution just to burn them with your performance. As far as the baseball bat stuff is concerned, it's stupid, moronic and immature on the part of the Panthers, but unless Norman hit Beckham over the head with the bat immediately before Beckham hit him in the head with his helmet, then the bat can't logically be justification, excuse, reason or explanation for Beckham's actions.
There's no justification to Beckham reaction, I guess I'm just equating homophobic slurs to racial slurs. In how the person would deal with that, and how the league would deal with that.
What a fuckin meltdown. He should absolutely get a game for that head shot. Norman should probably be fined for his role too. Good to know this douche nozzle is so easily rattled.
Trash talk is a part of the game. At this level the skill set is so close everything counts to get a slight edge. Norman's trash talk is a part of his job. He obviously found the right button to push, good for him. OBJ is not the first nor the last to be called names. It happens all the time, every game. 99.99% can handle it. Beckham's tantrum is testament that he is an immature entitled baby.
If 'Fag' was the taut used by Norman then I gotta say that I've heard worse 'sledging' playing the genteel sport of cricket.
