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.”

He was likely still in his uniform when it happened. He moved to Instagram after Twitter was suspended..and banned

He should be cut.

Last might a Ravens guy said during the introduction where they name their University “body by taco bell”. Wondered if that was a paid promo. If not, you bet they are lining up trying to figure out how it can be.

Taco bell tweeted it.

Good to hear.

Players do have a sense of entitlement but they do put their bodies through incredible punishment. Don’t know how many times yesterday that I had to hear that Texans Watson felt under his mask because he thought his eyeball popped out at a previous game. He was pretty darn good yesterday even with a damaged eye in a foreign time zone with jet lag.

If there isn’t a problem when blacks use racial epithets, why is it such a big deal if a white uses one? I am not falling for the “blacks can’t be racist” BS. I’ve seen it as well as experienced it. Stop pushing. It won’t end well. A black man feels he can call me cracker, I’ve got one or two for him, too.

If this was a white guy he’d already be off the team and the MSM would be reporting overtime on how racist and bad white people are.

Blacks are royalty.

Whites are peons.

Didn’t you get the memo?

I thought I heard one of the players mention an elementary school as their school. I’ve heard quite a few mention high school but never an elementary school.
