NFL hypocrisy example #10,001

[brumdog44]

DeVante Parker took a hit yesterday....staggered horribly. Wasn't pulled by the 'spotter'; team mate Nelson Agholar had called to the refs in extreme fashion to get them to notice.

NFLPA now calling for an investigation into it. Why am I not surprised that we haven't heard a peep from the media?

Yet Miami is the team that took all of the crap with the Tua situation and Teddy Bridgewater was pulled with NO visible signs.

you get more attention when you're first

you get more attention when you're first

League wanted to make an example out of Miami

 

[KingDolphin57]

League wanted to make an example out of Miami

League always makes an example out of Miami

League wanted to make an example out of Miami

But that's the problem...how do you trust the refs with that kind of agenda against you? It's ridiculous

Ridiculous apophenic comment.

Tua was not the first player to stagger and be reinserted in a game.

Tua is a household name amongst casual football fans. Parker isn’t. People saw Tua laid out unconscious for several minutes and there was a controversy around it, whether it was his first concussion or not. That’s why it got coverage and this didn’t. There’s no conspiracy, put your tinfoil hat away, the media isn’t out to get us.

The scout was too busy trying to read Kliffs playbook. Honest mistake.

He's not talking about the Bengals cheapshot bodyslam hit...Obviously that was legit, he's talking about the Bills cheapshot that saw him get up staggering a little.

From that point, they were all over Tua being allowed to come in, after being checked...Huge hypocrisy between Dolphins and Patriots.

I totally agree

 

[The Bopkin]

And where's the focus on Kenny Pickett? Holy cow, that kid's head is taking a beating.
Radio silence on that, other than its declaration. I don't see the exaggerated concern for Pickett's safety.

 

[TrogdorTheBurninator]

So dramatic with the conspracies.

 

[brumdog44]

Funny how if you bring something up you are accused of calling it ‘a conspiracy’. No tin foil on my head…some are just trying to put one there.

What I pointed out is the hypocrisy. I know Tua’s got more attention because he’s a bigger name. The hypocrisy is the talking heads acting as if their biggest concern was player safety and not clicks. DeVante Parker should be big news (and sorry, circumstances, it’s not a big news story like Tua’s injury was — front page and back page news show up on a google search) if for nothing else that it occurred AFTER the NFL changed the protocol to stop what occurred with Tua’s injury. There could not have been a more evident case to the staggering rule than what Parker exhibited and the spotter was asleep at the wheel.
