Former NFL player Junior Galette has been calling out the National Football League for quite a few months now.
“I’ve been blackballed since speaking out on pay discrimination in 2018. In 2017 I played every game, all 16 games. I was never on the injury report. I played well enough for the Redskins, or the team formerly known as the Redskins, the Washington football team. They offered me a two-year deal,” Galette told Inside Edition Digital in 2020.
“I had already seen my teammate, a white guy from Stanford, Trent Murphy, he was coming off a torn ACL in a season where he didn’t even play,” he said. “He didn’t play a single down. He was also suspended for four games for PEDs, while missing the whole year.”
Galette has claimed he and other Black players have been offered far less than some of their white counterparts who have had extensive injuries.
Just this week alone, he has been ranting heavily on the league while posting videos of agent Drew Rosenhaus and Jon Gruden being questioned on things pertaining to him.

That eventually led to the below proclamation:
“I stay with Two 9’s on me but If the NFL takes me out I didn’t kill myself…..Know that I been through hell and back and danced in that MF!! #SpreadLove Stand Up for what U Believe in even if it costs you your LIFE!!”
Galette does have a past where a woman accused him of assaulting her in January 2015 and he got arrested and charged with simple battery involving domestic violence. However, those charges were dismissed, but still got him suspended two weeks by the NFL for this incident.
Galette was also arrested in April 2017, when he was chased down and tased by police.
Galette has a total of 34.5 sacks in his NFL career.
