Enough is enough: It’s time for Odell Beckham Jr. to showcase substance

The idea that only Black wide receivers are capable of behaving like a “diva” is archaic and stereotypical. The NFL is a league that caters and capitulates to quarterbacks via changes in rules and enormous salaries.

If any athlete in the NFL is a “diva,” it’s the quarterback.

Guys like Julio Jones, Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins and Michael Thomas are phenomenal players with low maintenance personalities.

Some wide receivers are about the business of promoting their brand at all costs. They will stop at nothing to satisfy their fix, even if that means fracturing team chemistry, jeopardizing millions of dollars, and prioritizing individual success over team success.
