I had to Google that because I didn’t see it when it happened. The worst case scenario is if it was an intentional reference to Hamlin, but I doubt that. There’s no known bad blood between the players or the teams, and Hamlin has college ties to both Pittsburgh and Pickett. I think it’s more likely a poorly timed use of a fairly common celebration. And yes, definitely classless in either case.
On the other hand, it’s far more clear that what Brad has been doing is intentional. For well over a decade, he has consistently and intentionally made light of the alleged victims’ plight by using a very terrible situation to make jokes. He tries to justify it by deflecting attention from himself to Ben’s guilt. But that’s a completely separate issue. You can believe he’s guilty while at the same time refraining from making fun of the whole thing out of respect for the alleged victims.
