Odell Beckham Jr. doesn’t sound like a man who wants to play football in 2020.
The Cleveland Browns WR has not opted out of the 2020 NFL season, but he also sounds like a man who isn’t on board with a season happening.
Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Beckham said he does not believe the season should be played.
“That’s how I feel. Obviously with everything that’s going on, it doesn’t make sense why we’re trying to do this. I can understand basketball was already in the playoffs. Five-on-five basketball in an arena is going to be more intense than regular-season games. Hooping is different than playing an eleven-on-eleven contact sport where there’s 80 people in a locker room.
We’re not ready for football season. So why are we trying to push forward? It’s obviously for their money. And that bothers me because there’s always been this—and I hate saying it like that—but the owners’ [attitude is], Oh we own you guys, and just kind of that unfairness going on that they don’t see us as human. I just feel like the season shouldn’t happen and I’m prepared for it to not happen and I wouldn’t mind not having it,” Beckham told The Journal.
The 2020 regular season is scheduled to begin in early September.
