Odell Beckham Jr. went off on ESPN for a video package the network used during its 2020 NFL Draft coverage. Before the New York Giants selected Andrew Thomas fourth overall, draft host Trey Wingo recapped the organization’s recent struggles, noting that the Giants have missed the playoffs in seven out of the last eight seasons – while leaving out that the year before that streak began, the Giants won the Super Bowl.
ESPN also showed a famous clip of former Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. kicking a net on the sidelines. Beckham Jr. reacted to the choice on Twitter, and wrote that on a night when so many positives are being celebrated, he was still cast in a negative light.
I love how many positives things we could be showing during these times and especially during the draft where these young men are at their dream stage. Yet y’all still like to use one moment of me and the kickin net!!! 😂😂 this world is hilarious ! That shxts really sad
