Browns' Myles Garrett doubles down on claim that Steelers' Mason Rudolph used racial slur before an end-of-game brawl in November: 'He called me the N-word.'
The defensive end had first apologized and said he made a"terrible mistake" in a statement released by the Browns the day after the brawl.
Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett hits Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph with his own helmet during the fourth quarter at FirstEnergy Stadium."I lost my cool and what I did was selfish and unacceptable. I know that we are all responsible for our actions and I can only prove my true character through my actions moving forward," Garrett said in an apology to Rudolph, his teammates, the NFL and fans.
. He was not clear at the time what the slur was, but Rudolph's attorney and the Steelers denied the quarterback made any offensive remark. Rudolph's attorney, Timothy Younger, suggested Garrett was lying. He said in a statement that the accusation was"conspicuously absent in the apology published by the Browns and adopted by Garrett.""When he said it, it kind of sparked something, but I still tried to let it go and still walk away," Garrett said."But once he came back, it kind of reignited the situation.
"I don't say the N-word, whether it's with 'a' [or] 'er.' To me personally, just shouldn't be said, and whether it's by family, friends, anyone," Garrett added."I don't want to use it because I don't want [people to] find that appropriate around me for anyone to use."Elisha Fieldstadt
