Oh, and he called Roger Goodell a joke (who can disagree?).
I'm fine with these tweets. Foreigners is a weird word to use, but it's not explicit or derogatory.
He did tweet "These monkeys just goin to town" on the day before the Cavs selected Anthony Bennett first overall. Is this controversial? I have no idea who Anthony Bennett is or who he's calling a monkey. But he was also 17 years old, so...I hope he wasn't using it as a derogatory for black people, but without context it's hard to determine what he was trying to say...
The point is Burrow will be our QB and besides one tweet that may or may not have been racially controversial, Burrow seems to have very few flaws, weaknesses or concerning traits.
Anthony Bennett is one of the biggest busts in NBA history, chiefly down to lack of effort and love of the game.
And he's from Toronto (facepalm).
