Steelers safety Mike Mitchell went off on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the state of the league Wednesday afternoon, railing against the inconsistency of how hits, legal or not, are policed.
Former Giants star Osi Umenyiora took offense to Mitchell’s rant, which included several references to the idea of just playing flag football and “this is a man’s game.”
“Are players really this dumb?” Umenyiora tweeted. “Hate to say it but cmon. Former players have died and are dying horrible deaths because of head trauma. And you’re complaining because the league is taking steps to at least try and reduce it.
