Phillies Slugger Rhys Hoskins Calls Out Refs for Treatment of Josh McCown vs Russell Wilson
By Sean Facey
Philadelphia Phillies star Rhys Hoskins is keeping an eye on the Philadelphia Eagles' playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, and he's pretty incensed about the officiating.
The 26-year-old called out the referees for letting the Seahawks defense rough up Josh McCown, while seemingly protecting Russell Wilson to an absurd degree.
You know the officiating is getting bad when athletes from other sports are starting to weigh in on things. Philly sticks together, huh?
Of course, it also comes as no surprise that Hoskins isn't pleased with how the Eagles backup is being treated. McCown is a fellow Philly athlete, so it makes sense that Hoskins has thrown his support behind him.
McCown entered the game after Carson Wentz was taken to the locker room due to a rough hit to the head from Jadeveon Clowney, and he took quite a beating after he stepped in. He suffered three sacks before the third quarter even came to an end.
Wilson, meanwhile, has already gotten a roughing the passer call to fall his way.
The referees rarely get support, and they're certainly not going to get it from Hoskins.
