The
NFL’s problems are continuing to get worse, thanks to players who cannot seem
to conduct themselves in an civilized manner.
Seattle Seahawks defensive
lineman Malik McDowell, mug shot above, was arrested Sunday morning in Atlanta for disorderly
conduct.
Bodycam footage of the incident is just going to
make the NFL’s already awful season even worse.
The incident occurred Sunday morning, when McDowell was arrested after he
allegedly “flipped out at a club over money he thought he was owed.”
The arrest came after a Georgia policewoman said
she saw him getting into a verbal altercation outside the front doors of a club
called SL Lounge.
McDowell
was allegedly shouting at the head of club security about $600 he wanted to be
paid back according to the incident report.
Club staff, and a friend of McDowell, repeatedly told the athlete he had not paid the money he claimed he wanted
returned.
He was allowed back inside only to be kicked out
once more after he began ranting about the money again. He
reportedly refused to leave the club without the cash.
The policewoman said she was told McDowell “poured
out a couple bottles of liquor inside and got booted.”
McDowell cursed at the officer, who managed to
detain the player with the aid of her partner.
The officer said she thought she would have to taze
McDowell or use pepper spray on him to calm him down, but did not need to use
either.
Nevertheless,
McDowell did not go quietly.
While attempting to put McDowell in the back of
their cruiser, he was recorded on video saying, “F*** both of ya’ll hoe ass
n*****, p**** ass cops, I bet I get out, I got more money than ya’ll, ya’ll
ain’t got enough money for me, p**** ass crackers, broke ass n*****.”
Yet
he was all in twist over $600 — money he apparently had never paid in the first
place, such class.
Police booked McDowell for disorderly
conduct. He was released on $325 bond.
McDowell is another example of the vapid
entitlement, prima dona mentality that we see with so many NFL players. Once considered
role models, these trouble-making football players are
nothing but an embarrassment to their teams and the sport of football.
