My message was to all players which I said but specifically to the part of the NFL that’s makes up almost 70% the AA players.

Unsurprisingly, people are not happy on Twitter with Booger because he mentioned race and specifically talked about young black men running into issues in the NFL.
I listened to every word you said and everybody else on that desk, brotha. I still stand by my opinion that it was an unnecessary take to single out Black players on this when we’ve seen white players do the same thing like Johnny Manziel and others. — Chris Williamson (@CWilliamson44) December 29, 2020
However, all of that aside, I 100% agree that there are many players who don’t take the league seriously enough.
Dwayne Haskins was finally back as a starter [due to injury] and after losing to the #Seahawks, apparently decided to party at a strip club.
