New York Giants star wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. hinted Monday that his touchdown celebration where he
pretended to urinate in the Philadelphia Eagles end zone was a response
to President Trump calling players who kneel for the National Anthem
“sons of b****es .”
Beckham responded to a tweet that
questioned whether the move was in response to the president's remarks
on Sunday, saying “If u seen that, I have to tip my hat to u for thinkin
outside the box. #URRIGHTONPOINT impressed.”
The fourth-year receiver was questioned after Sunday’s
game on his actions, but did not give a direct answer that it was a
response to Trump’s comments.“I was in the end zone. I scored a touchdown," Beckham said, according to NJ.com. "I'm a dog so I acted like a dog. I don't know if the rulebook said you can't hike your leg. (The referee) said I peed on somebody, so I was trying to find the imaginary ghost that I peed on. But I didn't see him.”
Beckham scored two touchdowns in the game. On his second touchdown, Beckham raised his fist, (black panther salute if you don't know dumb-asses) which many players have been seen doing during the National Anthem.
The Giants lost the game in the final seconds, 27-24.
