Brian Urlacher continues to be a huge topic of discussion after his comments about Jacob Blake and NBA players protesting earlier this week. Urlacher, a former star linebacker for the Chicago Bears, made headlines when he criticized NBA players for boycotting playoff games in the wake of Jacob Blake’s police shooting.
He said on his Instagram story:
“Brett Favre played the (Monday Night Football) game the day his dad died, threw four TDs in the first half, and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity,” the message said on Instagram. “NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife, wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police.”
Longtime NBA player Jamal Crawford took to Twitter and shared the sad reality of his comment.
“There are a lot more Brian Urlacher’s out there..” he wrote.
The Chicago Bears, meanwhile, have distanced themselves from Urlacher in the wake of his controversial comment.
