Booger McFarland Says Black NFL Players Care More About Their Brand Than Becoming Good Players (VIDEO)

The Washington Football Team waived former Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins on Monday after they were forced to bench him on Sunday for playing poorly.

On top of that, he had his captain label snatched from him after pictures showed him at a strip club after the team lost to the Seattle Seahawks the previous week.

On Monday Night Countdown on ESPN, analyst Booger McFarland spoke about Haskins and many other Black players not treating the NFL like a business, instead choosing to focus on their personal brands:

My message was to all players which I said but specifically to the part of the NFL that’s makes up almost 70% the AA players. And of course I’m not speaking to ALL but in my 20+ years around the NFL I’ve seen to many cases. I stand by what I said whether u agree or disagree pic.twitter.com/6buvIc7Tje

Here’s how social media responded:

Preach… not just professional sports but everyday professionals! Strive to be the best you can be and let all the clutter (distractions) roll off your back like water on a duck! Preach IT Booger. https://t.co/4PGvwHec99

I don’t think Booger realizes how much money these players are making by promoting their brand, look at Juju he is a decent wide receiver at best yet he has the top selling (non QB) Jersey in the league on top of other sponsors he wouldn’t have if he didn’t promote himself https://t.co/NFBPkMww63

For all the criticism and hate I've thrown Booger's way over the years, his message here is amazing. https://t.co/sr6q0FH64X

I really hope you are ONLY saying this due to the overwhelming part of the league that is Black, but to not highlight the other 30% of the league who has also had issues over the years feeds into a ridiculous false narrative. https://t.co/YpGkqwDZch
