And the typical posters rushing to destroy Beckham at every turn, Aaron Donald HELD OUT last year. He didn’t practice, he didn’t play, he was nowhere around. He ended missing the first two game of the regular season all while also having a brand new coaching staff, and still managed to win DPOY. As usual certain posters overreact and act like Beckham couldn’t possibly function if he doesn’t play in the preseason and he’s supposedly selfish for doing so.
It’s also a reflection of these same posters (and the abysmal local and national media) that Beckham caught MUCH more flak for skipping OTAs than Donald did for missing the entire preseason and two games of the regular season. Hell, people cried all season long and mentioned the OTAs several times per week. It’s mind boggling the lengths some go to to bring athletes down when we are all supposed to be on the same side. It’s disgusting, really.
Donald didn't go around punching kicking nets and obtaining penalties for his team because another player got into his head.
OBJ needs to grow up. It's not exactly good timing to go about complaining about a contract and/or threatening to boycott OTAs when your team just came off a 3-13 season (and the most losses in team history) as well as attempting to negotiate after an injury-marred season.
And that’s the problem with you fake holier than thou clowns. You think missing OTAs and hitting a kicking net are far worse than holding out the entire preseason and actually missing two regular season games because of it. It’s why everyone hates NY and their fans, That shit happens anywhere else and little is said. But it happens in NY and the fans eat up the bullshit in the media and foam at the mouth over the stupidest things.
That was a major problem last year. OBJ was treated differently. I understand that the Prim-Donas need to be given special treatment. But what message does this send to the rest of the team?
He's part of this team. Accordingly, if I was Gettleman, I would talk with him and reassure a big contract is in the offering provided he can show that he is healthy (which means he needs to show up for at least some off-season scrimmages). If he and his agent refuse to be compliant with Giant's rules, something has to be done. Nobody was above the rules on Giants' winning teams (except for LT - he was a future HOF player). And needed particular TLC, but was a big part of the winning Giants' teams of the mid-to-late 80s.
OBJ will stay in good shape, no doubt. But you can't have someone sitting out when we didn't win with him. At least we were winning with Taylor.
As former HOF baseball player, Ralph Kiner retold in a story: He asked for a raise and the Pirates GM Branch Rickey told him "we finished last with you, we can finish last without you".
once a team starts allowing a player to dictate the terms of his employment its time to lay down the law to him or trade him.....
him when people go after him for stupid stuff, but this is indefensible. So someone makes a joke about hoping he doesn't play one play in the preseason and he writes back 0. How do you defend that? Clearly he is saying that he's above the team and clearly he is saying that he makes the rules and clearly he is saying that practice is not important. How else can someone possibly decipher "0"?? Oh, he's making a joke to a tweet at him? Yeah right. How does he not know that there are a bunch of b*tch "fans" just waiting for him to say anything so that they can jump on him? This is so ridiculous, albeit no surprising, especially when you see the names on the attack.
Also, nice job with the thread title, you got what you wanted.

Exactly whom did that action impact or influence?
I guess if Beckham doesn't say a word but misses two games in a holdout, that would be cool?

Amazing how much interpretation of the character 0 has caused. Almost as if people to bash him will literally use nothing to do it:)
