I bet the Pittsburgh Steelers would really like a monotonous and monotonous off-season in their wide receiver room. Unfortunately, this is not right on the cards. TMZ released a video of the second-year receiver Chase Claypool involved in a fight outside a bar in Costa Mesa, California. on March 13th.
According to TMZ, Claypool kicked someone in the face, but this is difficult to discern in the dark video. The report is keen to say that Claypool did not instigate this fight, but jumped to support a friend who ended up in the fight. The fight itself doesn’t seem to be much of a problem, as no charges have been made against Claypool.
Let’s put the fight aside for just a minute. After all the drama that happened several years ago with Antonio Brown and last year with Juju Smith-Schuster’s TikTok and dancing in logo maneuvers, I’m sure the Steelers are feeling emotionally affected by all the negative attention their wide receivers generate.
Smith-Schuster surprisingly re-signed with the Steelers on a one-year deal, a few days after entering the free agency market, reportedly refusing multi-year deals with several teams to stay in Pittsburgh. The Steelers brought him back with Claypool, Diontae Johnson and James Washington for another season with the corpse of Ben Roethlisberger.
In today’s age, professional athletes simply must know that there is literally always a camera over them in public. It doesn’t matter if you think you’re alone or not – staying out of the drama is probably the best thing for business. Unless Claypool is trying to align one of those ridiculous matches with Jake Paul.
