As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, during his appeal hearing, Cleveland Browns defense end Myles Garrett asserted that during his altercation with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, the latter, who is white, used a racial epithet to refer to the former, who is black.
Outside of teammates, Garrett has gotten little support for his side of the story; however, this should not be a story in the first place. Not because the accusation is unsubstantiated, but because it was made inside of a closed meeting that was supposed to remain confidential.
