Garrett Doubles Down On Rudolph Racial Slur Allegation

Myles Garrett isn’t backing down from the allegations he made towards Mason Rudolph, which led to a mele final Thursday (November 14) in the course of the Steelers vs. Browns sport. 

Garrett alleges that Rudolph directed a racial slur at him and that ignited the incident within the closing seconds of the sport. 

Garrett was suspended indefinitely for ripping off and swinging Rudolph’s helmet, hitting the quarterback within the head with it. 

After assembly with the NFL to attraction his indefinite suspension for the incident, the league upheld its ruling and “discovered no such proof” that Rudolph directed a racial slur at Garrett, in line with ESPN. 

In a press release posted on Twitter, Garrett mentioned the next: 

“I used to be assured that the listening to was area that afforded the chance to talk overtly and truthfully concerning the incident that led to my suspension. This was not meant for public dissemination, nor was it a handy try to justify my actions or restore my picture within the eyes of these I upset.”

“I do know what I heard. Whether or not my opponent’s remark was born out of frustration or ignorance, I can’t say. However his actions don’t excuse my lack of restraint within the second, and I really remorse the influence that this has had on the league, the Browns, and our devoted followers.”

Rudolph has denied Garrett’s allegations and his lawyer said that what Garrett alleges is a “malicious lie.”

“Based on ESPN, in his attraction, Myles Garrett falsely asserted that Mason Rudolph uttered a racial slur towards him, previous to swinging a helmet at Mason’s uncovered head, in a determined try to mitigate his suspension,” mentioned Rudolph’s lawyer, Timothy M. Youthful. “This can be a lie. This false allegation was by no means asserted by Garrett within the aftermath of the sport, by no means urged previous to the listening to, and conspicuously absent within the apology revealed by the Browns and adopted by Garrett.”

“The malicious use of this wild and unfounded allegation is an assault on Mason’s integrity which is much worse than the bodily assault witnessed on Thursday. That is reckless and shameful. We could have no additional remark.”

For now, Garrett will stay suspended for the rest of the 2019 season with out pay. We’ll see if the suspension extends into subsequent season.
