Jamal Adams’ Apology: NFL Might Punish Seattle Seahawks for Concussion Behavior?!
If you are a pro football fan who along with your passion for the sport funds yourself put off by the unshakable sense that the NFL cares more about printing money (with Taylor Swift’s face on the bills) than it cares about the “meet on the hoof” human beings who actually make sacrifices to play the game for our entertainment …
We give you Jamal Adams and the possibility that he will in essence get punished for having sustained a concussion.
During this past “Monday Night Football” game against the Giants in New York, Seattle Seahawks safety Adams - already emotionally fired up because he was making his debut following a painfully long rehab period - was visibly frustrated that his return to the field was cut short by what was deemed by medical personnel a concussion.
So far, so good, as the Seahawks and the NFL’s independent concussion doctor teamed to do the right thing.
But then came some behavior that has since caused Adams to issue an apology for the scene at MetLife Stadium.
"First and foremost, I want to apologize to the OG," Adams said. "You did everything right when you realized I was concussed, I apologize for any negative energy I brought your way.
"Watching the replay, I am thankful for your patience knowing I wasn't myself in that moment. You're a real one and you serve a great purpose that benefits the NFL and so many players. Prioritizing player's health is essential. Much respect to you!"
All OK? Not quite. It is bring reported that the three-time Pro Bowler Adams could face discipline from the NFL for his actions toward the doctor.
“Discipline” for appearing to be “out of his mind” (for lack of a better term) … which may have literally been Adams’ mental state due to the fact his brain was … well, you know, CONCUSSED?
Surely the NFL will demonstrate a clearer head than Adams was unfortunately able to manage in the moment … as while he and the Seahawks use a bye week to recover from his mistake … the NFL will take a moment to avoid unfeelingly magnify Adams’ error by making another of its own.
