Browns' Mack Wilson Tweets and Deletes Distasteful Photo After Giving JuJu Smith-Schuster Concussion
By Sean Facey
The Cleveland Browns aren't exactly making many friends right now with their behavior on and off the field.
Apparently, the repeated damage to The Land's reputation on Thursday night couldn't stop one of their defenders from making another hard-to-believe gaffe on Friday.
The helmet debacle involving Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph and subsequent fight involving Maurkice Pouncey needs no introduction, but lost in the debate was Mack Wilson's hit that concussed Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
With the drama from the fight still fresh, Wilson tweeted out an incredibly distasteful photo of him walking away from Smith-Schuster's body, celebrating the win. He ended up deleting the tweet.
Of course, that image features JuJu absolutely crumpled on the turf.
There are so many things wrong with this, timing and all, but perhaps the most jarring aspect of the tweet is the laughing emoji he used. Concussing a player is no laughing matter and can have serious long-term consequences.
It shows a lack of respect for the opponent and a lack of overall discipline in the locker room for the Browns.
This tweet and Thursday's in-game incidents are indicative of a toxic culture in Cleveland that has both held the Browns back from playing up to their potential and prevented them from being a likable team in the process.
They're not playing the game "with an edge." They're playing it dirty, and it finally got exposed.
