Shortly after the Browns lost to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Cleveland safety Jermaine Whitehead went on a profane Twitter rant that included racist language and death threats.

The tweets were targeted at Twitter users critical of his and the Browns’ performance with one aimed at Browns TV and radio broadcaster Dustin Fox after Fox tweeted that “Whitehead’s tackling today is a joke.” Whitehead responded with a slur and a warning to Fox not to “get smoked.”

Fox wasn’t the only Twitter user in Whitehead’s sights. He responded to several other critics with tweets that included a death threat, a place to meet and another use of the slur he used against Fox.

In a just world this guy would be unemployed this morning, but in the NFL it's just another day.

Are they outraged enough to bench him? Didn’t think so.

With Flacco on the bench, the Broncos did pretty good with their backup QB...then again, it was against the Browns.

I presume neither Jermaine’s head or any other part of his anatomy are not white?

Making a death threat violates Twitter’s terms of service.

Unless someone threatens to kill Trump.

“Are they outraged enough to bench him?”

From the article: “The team did not clarify what steps would be taken.”

Translation: NONE

Funny. If he’d said these things as a rapper or as a black comedian, he would be acclaimed by the pop culture. If he’d committed violence, we would be told we should understand his rage and that his words aren’t really racist, etc.

And if he was LeBron James or Patrick Mahomes, he would probably be suspended a few games and all would be forgiven. But he’s just an undrafted free agent who has been kicked around from team to team. So, he’s expendable. See you in the XFL, Jermaine.

No kidding.

He’s just another example of what I’ve dubbed an OA (Overpaid A_hole), pardon my French.

He sounds like a very stressed young person. I hope he gets the help he needs.

Typical low IQ trash talking mumble mouth NFL player who received a free education and didn’t learn shit.

He will end up somewhere down the line in jail or dead
