And you know this because you were on the field when it happened?
i don’t know whether it’s true or not. If it turns out that Myles lied about this, I think the suspension should be lengthened. That said, I’m not about to jump to either man’s defense until more evidence comes out. The league has access to the audio. If Mason said it, the proof will be there.
I do find it interesting that so many believe that words can’t get uttered on the field of play where teammates can’t hear. Mason and Myles were the only two on the ground when the incident began. Rudolph and Myles were basically face to face, so he wouldn’t have had to yell out the pejorative in order for Myles to hear him.
Now, I do have a hard time believing Mason would be that stupid to say such a thing surrounded by Black teammates, even if he harbors thinking like that. But, then again, Ritchie Icognito is still in the league and he was proven to harass his Black teammate.
And I believe sadly that racism hurts all involved, it’s a close relative of another very sad part of our society, imo, bigotry.
