This is an especially bad look this week since the medical personnel have been in the spotlight for their life-saving efforts with the Hamlin injury.

Agreed. And then a Steelers player also did a mock CPR celebration. In very poor taste.

The Thibodeaux celebration was so bad I thought he took a shot to the head and was having a concussed, dissociative moment. After he looked over, then continued celebrating, my stomach sank. I was embarrassed for him.

Yeah. It's a common celebration, but read the fucking room, guy. I wonder if he realized in hindsight it was stupid and felt embarrassed, or if it was intentional. I hope it wasn't intentional.

Packers and Steelers both not in the playoffs too after having a chance here in the final week. Some would say karma.

That's the kind of thing I'd love to see the head coach come over, grab him by the face mask, and drag his happy ass back to ride a bench while ripping him a new asshole.

Let's be real, there were tons of teams/players who have done this celebration in the past. Nothing inherently wrong with it, it's just very poor timing from someone who should have read the room a little better after last week

I never said it was. People are going to do what they want. No one had a problem with the celebration until the incident. I simply stated a fact. I hypothesize that the people who downvoted me, jumped to conclusions, that the celebration was to mock Hamlin.

ArtistWhoStarves t1_j3nzxb2 wrote

He's not like a vontez burfict, Anthony Barr, or n. Suh type player. These are absolutely stupid moves on his part. He know it and feels terrible. Poor reactions in the situations. I'm sure he'll seek therapy and figure it out. If you saw him in the tunnel he was berating himself. He was in pain. I know that look because I've had it when I made a dumb impulsive decision. Hindsight is 20/20, he just needs to slow his mind and think before he reacts.

Edit: a Lotta people living in glass houses on here. Acting like he punched a guy. Was it stupid? Absolutely. But he didn't actually hurt anyone. He wasn't head hunting, stomping on people, or kicking anyone in the nuts. He got shoved and he pushed them. He's not mentally disciplined, and he knows it. I can def get behind a 3 game suspension, but acting like he is this cheap dirty player who is a bad person, you sound like a moron.

Maxwell-Druthers t1_j3o3lqk wrote

He feels terrible he got ejected. This guy is a grade A piece of shit. He pushed him because the trainer had the audacity to brush past him while he was trying to tend to an injured player. This threatened his ego, he felt “disrespected” and his natural reaction was to shove him, like a child. These 280 lb man babies are the most dangerous people in society. They think they’re entitled to all the “respect” in the world and their fragile egos are shattered at any perceived slight. These are the types that will beat the shit out of people, or in worst cases kill people at any perceived act of “disrespect”. GUARANTEE this slob has a violent past. As someone else stated, this looks even worse considering what happened last week with medical personnel saving Damar Hamlin’s life. They need to release this guy YESTERDAY. That single shove revealed everything you need to know about that scumbag.

He pushed a man and you call him a potential murderer, one of “the most dangerous people in society”, a slob, and you “guaranteed” that he had a violent past. You don’t know him, you’re pulling shit out of your ass. The only notable people to graduate from his high school are athletes. Did it ever occur to you that maybe he grew up in a situation where football was seen as his only way to be successful? In those situations mental health and anger management aren’t exactly prioritized. He said publicly, before your comment, that the way he acted was unacceptable, but you didn’t take the 2 minutes to look that up before writing your racist-ass comment, did you?

Maxwell-Druthers t1_j3r7voj wrote

Your boy shoves medical personnel for brushing past him on the field. He’s done it twice in a single season. Yes, he’s a POS. I don’t care if he’s black or white. Mental health and anger management aren’t prioritized in this entire country… you don’t see anyone else pushing medical staff for trying to help an injured player. And ya, I read his apology. Do you think he’s just gonna act like it didn’t happen? He’s the only player to get disqualified from a game twice in one season since 2000… and both for shoving a medical assistant. Gtfo outta here with your mindless “you’re racist” bs. I don’t care if he’s black or white. You look like a buffoon. That’s why everyone is downvoting you, ya lunkhead. Have a great day, try to be better.

The guy looked broken up over it. No one’s perfect. He lost his cool in the moment. It wasn’t like he sexually assaulted 20ish women, beat his pregnant wife, or stomped on someone’s face with his cleats. It was a slight shove. I can forgive a guy for this.

−22

MLGWolf69 t1_j3o7znt wrote

The thing is that he's done this twice now. He shoved a Bill's coach earlier in the season already and got ejected for that, and today he shoves a guy who's trying to tend to an injured player. This is now no longer a one-off thing, it's a pattern

I see your point of view. I felt that way initially. But I can give this guy another chance. I don’t need to crucify him. He might not have noticed it was a trainer.

FirstSonOfGwyn t1_j3obqi1 wrote

unfortunate he got this far in life w/o learning how to be respectful, but I do agree with you.

This is dumbass behavior, but its not some horrific inhumane shit. Its a dude who clearly has temper/impulse control issues. and I'm sure in the middle of an NFL game the cognitive load to control that stuff will not be at its best.

Even bigger dumbass for doing it twice, but I agree with you, this isn't an impossibility to come back from.

I also appreciate seeing a pro athlete getting a second/third chance is frustrating and uncool in a lot of ways.

MLGWolf69 t1_j3obtnp wrote

I'll see what happens with him, because I can't imagine the Packers are gonna just dump him, he is a rookie and everything. But, like Matt LaFleur said, he has to be smart going forward. But I would think it's teachable to have a player think before they go shoving people around

Maxwell-Druthers t1_j3o7q9n wrote

He’s done it twice… and these medical personnel guys are half his size. And not in uniform. It’s not the physical slight shove that’s the big issue, it’s the psychology behind it. Who the fuck shoves a medical professional in the act of helping a fallen player? TWICE?!?

No. You can see when it goes down. Totally remorseless when he does it, sees the flag go up, and then falls apart. He’s broken up he got caught. If nothing came of it he would have been bragging about it after the fact. He’s got a lot of growing up to do.

It's weird that these guys aren't held to a higher standard than someone bagging grocery in stores. If joe pushed 2 other employees, he would be fired. Or imagine if in an MMA fight. 1 fighter gets hurt, and a medical doctor comes in, and the other fighter shoves him. And then does it again! I would imagine it would be hard for him to get licensed again.

Dude. If you think those shoves hurt them at all, I don't know what to tell you. The worst part about it is it was a person on the medical staff just trying to help his injured player. You can't get in the way of that. Nice glass house you live in.

Str1fer t1_j3ochay wrote

Get off your high horse. It was a push, not a punch. What he did was wrong and unsportsmanlike but nothing more. Now if he took a swing at the guy, that would be another story. Either way the guy needs to work on his mental game sooner rather than later, so it doesn't turn into something worse than a small push.

If you saw the whole video, you can clearly see in the tunnel that he regrets his actions and having a 'nice' talk with himself.

Guess what? Pushing someone can cause injuries. Just because it didn't doesn't make it okay. He was punished and felt bad that he got punished and will lose money. He doesn't care about the fact that he pushed a medical worker tending to an injured player.

I find it very difficult to "empathize" with someone who pushes medical personnel for doing their job because they brushed against them.

Gonna be hard for him to work on his mental game when he scored an 8 on the wonderlic. His test scores and behavior suggest he has the mental maturity of a child and to be honest, he probably shouldn’t be playing in the nfl because he’s going to hurt himself Or someone else.

MasqueOfTheRedDice t1_j3o74g7 wrote

I think we need to realize that professional athletes, especially a more violent sport like football, draws people with inflated egos and toxic masculinity. Same issue with some cops; it’s a job that’s more likely to draw these types of people. I don’t even like the phrase “toxic masculinity” because I think it’s overused in lesser situations and just serves as a detractor when over-described that way, but that’s exactly what this is. It’s more common in the NFL than other sports, and it’s more common in all pro sports than in the general public. The NFL should require seminars to teams, etc. with real on field tape like this to help drive the point home. I’m sure they probably do already, but they need to do a better job, and the players have to take it seriously. It’s not just this one guy, it’s a culture issue - this guy needs to own his actions, but the system is also failing him.

But I have a shared hatred for that team and flying a banner earned that way. Throw at those two every time they’re up - hit them in the thigh until baseball has no choice but to do something.

This is the take that comes from the kinda people who start shooting when they feel “disrespected”.

The trainer didn’t do anything that could even be accidentally construed as aggressive, he touched his arm to get around him because he was being an idiot and blocking staff from an injured opponent. Not to mention this is the second time this season this moron got an ejection for hitting staff. How can anyone defend this shit
