New York Fans Cheer as Odell Beckham Jr. Limps off Field With Apparent Injury
By Michael Luciano
The New York Jets have put an abysmal product on the field, and their fans are making sure their behavior off the field is just as rancid.
Cleveland Browns receiver Odell Beckham Jr. limped off of the field with an apparent injury toward the end of the first half. Normally a cause for hushed silence, Jets fans decided to erupt in applause following another injury to Beckham.
Why are the fans cheering that Odell is hurt? So pathetic.

Disgusting. There's no other word to describe it.
While there's a 100% chance some alcohol was fueling this decision, that doesn't make it any less reprehensible. With their fans abandoning basic social rules of cordialness and minimal human decency, there's literally nothing good that has come from this night for the Jets, as they find themselves down 16-3 at halftime.

And to make matters worse for the Jets, Beckham is fine and back on the field.
Come to MetLife Stadium! Where a professional team records -13 yards passing in a half and the fans boo the injuries of great players!
What a mess owner Christopher Johnson has on his hands right now in all phases.
