I wouldn’t ordinarily waste my time with nonsense, but given the high-profile nature of the situation and the extent to which I have seen commentators offering defenses for Myles Garrett, even watching hashtags go trending arguing that Mason Rudolph should be suspended, let’s just establish what we already know: Garrett was the instigator.
Let’s set the table first. Every single person I’ve seen, to a man, who was asked about the tone of the game prior to the assault committed by Garrett said that there were no issues. Rudolph said this. Garrett said this.
