But that was then, this is now. Enter Jermaine Whitehead, who plays Safety for the Browns. Apparently, he was the defender on the Broncos' game-winning touchdown pass.
Wow...the Browns sure have ugly uniforms these days. But that aside, part of good sportsmanship is accepting the fact that defeat sometimes happens in competitive sports. You pick yourself up; analyze what went wrong; and work to do better next time. But Whitehead wasn't such a gracious loser. Within minutes of Cleveland's loss, Whitehead took to Twitter and it wasn't a pretty sight. In fact, we redacted various obscenities from the clips:
It took the Twitter folks a whole 15 minutes to suspend Whitehead's account. Which sadly is probably a more serious punishment than anything that the NFL will do to him. And why should they? This barely-literate gangland jerk actually graduated from Auburn University. They never held accountable for his behavior, so why should the NFL?
No, in the postmodern America created by the self-appointed intellectual elites (such as one finds at Auburn), trash like Whitehead get four-year degrees on scholarships and $645,000 annual salaries to be role-models for other trash. Meanwhile, medical students at Auburn need to come up with around $320,000 for 4 years of medical school. And med school graduates rarely end up as national heroes, unlike Mr. Whitehead and his millionaire friends with the Cleveland Browns.
There are two reasons that I look forward to 2020: one is the re-election of President Trump and the other is the return of real football with the XFL. The NFL just needs to go down, once and for all.
