I have no idea if Mason Rudolph used a racial slur before last Thursday’s brawl, as Myles Garrett has reportedly alleged in a hearing to appeal his indefinite suspension from the NFL.
And if you’re being honest, you don’t either.
This isn’t about picking sides or trying to figure out what actually happened. It’s important to recognize that unless you were on the field in Cleveland, we don’t know the full extent of what transpired, and it would be unfair to act like we do.
Here’s what we know: Thanks to Garrett’s allegation — which he reportedly used during his appeal of his suspension for his role in the brawl near the end of the Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers game a week ago — this has transformed into the ugliest story of the 2019 season.
