Odell Beckham Jr. might’ve thought he was being funny, but nobody was laughing at his latest statement.

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Browns WR was asked if he was worried that he had contracted COVID-19 last week and provided a very ignorant statement about it.

“No, not in an arrogant way. I don’t think COVID can get to me. I don’t think it’s going to enter this body. I don’t want no parts of it, it don’t want no parts of me. It’s a mutual respect.”
