Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is pushing back against Myles Garrett. Rudolph responded Saturday to accusations that he directed a racial slur at Garrett that kicked off a brawl between the Steelers and Cleveland Browns in November. Rudolph called it a “bold-faced lie,” among other things.
Rudolph also said he “would not utter a racial slur.”
1000% False.
Bold-Faced Lie.
I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur.
This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character. https://t.co/mZcEcC0tCl— Mason Rudolph (@Rudolph2Mason) February 15, 2020Steelers coach Mike Tomlin also weighed in on the issue Saturday.
