Update his Browns playing time to 2019 as he does not play for the Browns at the present time. 85.253.200.56 (talk) 15:00, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed name change of controversy section from "Racism Controversy" to "Social Media controversy"

While he called Dustin Fox a "cracker", I think the bigger theme is he threatened both Fox and several fans on social media and race was only involved in one instance while violence was included in all of his posts. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:21, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think the entire thing should just go under the Cleveland Browns section as my last edit shows. It reeks of WP:RECENTISM to have an entire section devoted to this incident. Eagles 24/7 (C) 15:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The incident certainly doesn't belong in the lede unless and until there is evidence that it has had a significant effect on his career. And neither does it merit coverage in two different sections in the article body. Further, per WP:BLP sensationalist wording as present in the Browns section isn't merited at all. 86.143.228.144 (talk) 15:31, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
he got released the day after and is unlikely to be picked up due to his racist conduct. that is evidence enough of a significant effect on career. Quenreerer (talk) 15:39, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Can you cite a source for that? Because otherwise, that is pure supposition. 86.143.228.144 (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm opposed to the name change. Simply, why change? it was a racism controversy.Quenreerer (talk) 15:39, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Given that only one of the sources currently cited mentions racism, that would seem debatable. 86.143.228.144 (talk) 15:46, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
