Not putting in the required amount of work; constantly showing up late to meetings; being a piss-poor teammate: these are all reasons why professional football players can get cut.
But liking pizza instead of chicken salad? That’s a stretch, but it’s allegedly a significant part of why the USFL’s Pittsburgh Maulers cut running back De’Veon Smith.
There seems to be more to the story though. Apparently, Smith had asked a staff member for a slice of pizza at the team’s hotel after being offered chicken salad. He evidently has a dislike for chicken salad (which is wild — chicken salad is incredible).
