CLEVELAND (CBSNewYork) — An NFL player is apologizing for posting a graphic image on Instagram showing a man dressed in all black slitting the throat of a police officer.
Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell, 23, deleted the image he posted on Instagram showing blood gushing out of the officer’s neck. The image conjures up videos posted by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria showing the terrorist known as “Jihadi John” beheading American and British victims.
I would imagine he's been fired by now. I mean, given that a sports commentator can be fired for posting support of a law that keeps men out of the ladies bathroom, some moron promoting the murder of a cop certainly will be addressed. Right? It's not like we have lower standards in the industry for some just because of their race.
Should this warrant a long suspension or termination? Any better than a white person posting a racial slur?
Yeah, that won't happen. Don't forget that Mateen (the Orlando mass murderer) wasn't fired because he was a Muslim, despite repeated statements that he wanted to kill all blacks.

Agreed. Imagine if a white person employed by one of these organizations posted a picture of a black man being beheaded after a few whites are killed by black people.
There used to be a guy on this site from Cleveland that went by the screen name No1Brownsfan. Great guy and one of my favorite contributors. Hasn't been on in several months. Hope he's okay. I'd like to get his take on this story.
