#BatGate: Your Latest NFL Controversy
From the league that brought you #SpyGate, #BullyGate, and #DeflateGate, there’s now #BatGate. Everyone saw Giants WR Odell Beckham and Panthers CB Josh Norman fighting for practically the entire game, including Beckham eventually launching his head at Norman’s in a cheap shot. Well, apparently Beckham was upset because some Carolina players were walking around with a bat during pregame warmups, and he felt threatened. Cris Carter reported they also used homophobic slurs, although OutSports later reported the slurs were actually more misogynistic. So now Beckham’s been suspended one game for his actions, and the Panthers are now banned from carrying bats in the field because CHRIST IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS LEAGUE WHO TALKS ABOUT FOOTBALL?
