NFL player pleads his case to league after violent on-field brawl l ABC News

1. In hockey it's all fine what's the difference

2. They are all stupid

3. Should have been arrested for assult. Is a helmet as hard as hammer or a baseball bat. The Quarter back could have had a head injury for the rest of his life. He used all his force to harm the quarter back. Yes kick him out of the league. That is unacceptable behavior.

4. Your mama never told you to worry about yourself and not others. Man up and take your punishment.

5. He should be suspended indefinitely and lose his job if he did that outside in the street to a person he would be in jail behind bars for assault with a deadly weapon and that adds up to a felony

6. I bet he was wishing the Browns would fire him so he could get the f out of Cleveland

7. NFL is a joke for not suspending Mason Rudolph for at least a game. Imagine being white and being able to provoke and instigate shit only to receive a slap on the wrist. Must be nice.

8. These guys are seriously abusive. Any player who behaves in that manner should be fired, period! He could have killed that guy with such a blow to his head!

9. WAKE UP PEOPLE. Mason Rudolph has ownership in this. I’m hard pressed to believe that a top draft pick, a starter, and star player that’s team is 8 seconds from a win would hit a guy in the head like he did. I gotta believe that either Rudolph said something or his attempts to grab at Garrett head flipped the switch. The number of comments about Garrett being lucky, or not taking accountability are stupid. The nfl is not consistent with how they enforced the rules on, or off the field. NFL has had so much bad press in the last 5 to 6 years both on and off the field a guy swinging a helmet at another player is the last thing they need. If they don’t throw the book at Garrett then the backlash will be rather large I’m sure. The nfl will not put up with violent players doing violent shit on, or off the field. QBs are what make the nfl go round which is why they’re protected at all cost, even when they are clearly in the wrong. It’s not a good look when this goes down on Thursday night football and millions of people are watching. The nfl is doing damage control, suspending Garrett like they did is a move to mitigate the bad press. Not send a message that player safety is a priority, and on field violence will not be acceptable. I could understand a 6 game suspension only because he made contact, but Rudolph needs a game maybe 2 for instigating the whole thing. Also if the Browns made the playoffs I’d be ok with Garrett being reinstated. Albert hansworth played a few more years after he stomped on a dudes head, incognito is back after his racist psycho shit. Adrian Peterson beat his kid but he’s back too, Pac-Man Jones had a long career even with all his drama. It’s not over for Garrett, not by a long shot. The league is just trying to save face and keep the bad press to a minimum. Plus why isn’t strahan covering this story? He’s a former player with a Super Bowl ring does he not have insight into this kind of thing?

10. I like how saying it's all garrets fault, Rudolph escalated it, by going after him for it, and let's not forget 8 years ago, andre Johnson and Chris Finnegan, that fight was more brutal, and guess what andre Johnson was not suspended after beat Chris Finnegans ass on TV, I'm not a fan of the browns, but Rudolph plays it off like he didnt do shit, if you watch the entire game, he tries to act like hes James harden, tries to get flags for everything, hes a baby, Myles garret got pissed and did that, which was wrong, but Rudolph shouldn't have never went after him and then act all innocent when hes hit. So I do believe this is harsh, let's also talk about vontaze berficit, a player who deliberately time after time intentionally hits players in the head, tries to break legs, and he gets suspensions, but finally after the 8th or 9th incident, was finally suspended for the entire season, this is Myles Garrett first offense, he should be punished, but not the entire season , ps they didnt suspend mndamoking suh, for the shit he did, before he cleaned up his act, let's talk about him when he stomped on a players head, he was fined a whole lot of money, but not suspended for the entire season, I believe Myles should get a couple game suspension, a fine, and a proper apology, even if Rudolph said a racial slur.

11. You said it was a racial slur? The guy works with people of color for a living. I cant find this believable In any way. You should be put out of the nfl completly. A guy that cant control himself. Sit him on the bench for a year.

12. Why did you guys at ABC cover up the epstein story 3 years ago, was it because hilary was running for president and you guys didn't want that to hurt her campaign so you guys purposely buried a huge story of one of the world's worst pedophile??

13. Dude, I don’t care if 200 men have done that deed before you did . Attacking someone with a football helmet IS UNACCEPTABLE. Have you heard of CTE?! 👎 YOU CANNOT DO THAT TO ANY HUMAN BEING! Fine him to the max and the punishment fits the crime 🤦🏻‍♀️

14. Of course he did this. Football players cant help but rob convenient stores, violently attack other players, beat their girlfriends and wives and murder people. Why are we suprised? More reasons not to participate in the furthering of the NFL.

15. Geez who does that. That’s violent and not called for. I don’t watch football but he needs to be in trouble for hurting someone. That’s not ok.

16. This is like Antonio Brown saying that he is not guilty of his actions , he wouldn’t dare attack and fight Tom Brady he would be kicked and banned from the league , he is trying to be released because he knows he won’t be getting paid for the remaining games, he only cares about the money not that he could have injured /killed Mason Rudolph and then be in jail for assault and battery, and murder if he died, and then trying to say his punishment is too harsh lol what a joke did he not watch what he did on camera and television after the game , he is only sorry he got caught

17. Kick him out the league altogether, his not special !!!!!!

18. NFL seems to be ok with assault and battery, but kneeling silently, OMG… death sentence

19. Fair is fair even if he's a POS

20. He uses a event that took place 7yrs ago as cop out? Dude you hit a guy with a helmet on National T.V! If we did that on the street our butts would be arrested and probably sued. Bad look for a nice guy.

21. Game In Play, One swing and a miss (2013)
    After The Play, One swing and A HIT (2019)
    * MASON ATTACKED WITH WORDS
    *GARRETT RETALIATED WITH A WEAPON
    BIG DIFFERENCE ALL AROUND!!!!

22. apologetic my ass, he wants to use black priviledge to get lesser sentence. always blame whitey for blacks aggression.

23. Stupid defense. If this was 'done before' then the punishment was not harsh enough to keep it from happening AGAIN.

24. The old "It's his fault because he made me mad" defense. This was a pattern for this player. Obviously, his previous punishments did not get his attention.

25. the guy needs to sit for the rest of the year at least, if not no NFL in this household.

26. Ghetto

27. That PINK ass hillbilly deserved that helmet hit to his skull. I wanted to see a concussion.

28. He should be happy he wasn't kick out of the league

29. I feel like he shouldn’t be suspended indefinitely because rudolf did instigate it towards the end by charging him

30. Mason try to pull off his helmet first and he also he kick him in there nuts

31. Get rid of him … If you can't control emotions over a stupid game that has no involvement in wars or saving human life or saving the world … Then why do we expect police, politicians, and military to control emotions. Tap out kid you can't control your anger over a game while other control their anger while fighting Nazis … Like me. I talk trash but I never hit other people.

32. Stop worshipping professional ball players.

33. Why are people acting like this is the worst thing they've ever seen?? There's more violent things happening in real life

34. The quarterback was the aggressor from the start to end. F'n ridiculous the double standard.

35. Dude this guy has trained his whole life for this! The type of competition and aggression in football is why it happened. Hes young, let him apologize and suspend him. No need to do more than that.

36. I don't think the punishment is excessive, on the contrary, I think that it's assault and he should be in jail. I promise you that a regular Joe would be, even for less than that, let's say for spitting which is considered assault, much more a hit on the head.
    Such hit on the head could cause serious and permanent damage, unfortunately it's the type of damage that doesn't show immediately.
    I pray for both players that may GOD bless them and enlighten them❣🙏

37. This fool should never be able to play again

38. I think the NFL need to stick to their guns… And make this guy example that they're not going to tolerate people ripping off other people's helmets and hitting them in the head… This guy could have broken this man's neck… or did some serious damage to this guy forever. the NFL don't need to compromise or apologize because somebody could have seriously gotten injured. You do the crime… you do the time. Sports is supposed to be fun… exciting… enjoyable. But when you get ghetto punks like this who wants to fight on the field… He needs to go!

39. In an appeal with the NFL, Browns’ DE Myles Garrett alleged that Mason Rudolph called him a racial slur prior to last week's brawl on Thursday Night Football, sources told ESPN's Josina Anderson and Adam Shefter, an accusation the Steelers’ QB strongly denies.

40. Ignorantcy on both parts..it's sad all that $ but still animals risking their career!

41. Nfl is making its point to blk men
    Thy hate us. Lil dude was coming at him. Not justice. Suspend both teams. All of them, coaches and owners as well. No dam parciality
