ESPN’s Booger McFarland calls black NFL stars for focus on brand, not game

Washington Court Dwayne Haskins has ESPN’s Booger McFarland in a bad mood, and he’s essentially attacking young black NFL stars for throwing millions away … for TikTok.

Booger gave up on that hot footprint on Monday night, claiming that the Washington Football Team gave up its previous choice of the first round before completing its second season, which is symptomatic of a bigger problem – players focusing on building the brand in instead of the game.

And he thinks it’s a problem that plagues black players more than whites.

Booger said, “They come in saying, ‘How can I build my brand better? How can I build my social media by doing better? How can I work on Instagram and show everyone that I’m ready to go?’ But when I get to the game, I don’t act. “

It was a not-so-subtle dig at Haskins to get in hot water for a video of him at a strip club party without a face mask or social distance.

Booger also highlighted another former player from the first round, JaMarcus Russell, whose career went bankrupt after winning a $ 40 million contract – but his focus on African American stars is somewhat controversial, because white players are also bad. Johnny Manziel, Jake Locker and Ryan Leaf anyone?

However, as Booger pointed out, black players make up about 70% of the league … so the fact is, there are more black players getting the financial opportunity. As he said: “They play a children’s game to receive the king’s ransom”.
