Browns Release Statement in Wake of Jermaine Whitehead's Troubling NSFW Twitter Behavior
By Thomas Carannante
Shortly after the Browns' loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Twitter began to stir as a number of messages were screenshotted by users documenting the explicitly inappropriate behavior of Cleveland safety Jermaine Whitehead.
At first, it wasn't 100% certain it was him considering the account wasn't verified, but in the end, the Browns acknowledged what he did and released a statement condemning his actions.

It was a rough day for Whitehead, who missed a tackle that changed the complexion of the game when he was barreled over by Broncos tight end Noah Fant, who then took a 75-yard reception to the house.
Fans called out Whitehead for that moment and the Browns safety went off on them.

We can perhaps expect some sort of discipline coming from the team considering out out-of-line and serious this was. Nonetheless, the Browns have a ton of work to do on other fronts, as they're just 2-6 and are watching their slim playoff hopes slowly disappear.
