Bart Scott crossed a line when blaming Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins for the horrific injury sustained by Bills safety Damar Hamlin.
Skip Bayless had the worst take of the night when it came to the horrific ordeal of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The day is reserved for Bart Scott.
On Tuesday’s edition of First Take, Scott spoke about the ordeal that took place on Monday Night Football and essentially blamed Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins for the ordeal surrounding Hamlin in which Hamlin collapsed and is now in critical condition.
Needless to say, this was pathetic, disgraceful, and warranted heavy criticism. The social media world obliged and let Scott have it.
Bengals fans were justifiably outraged at Bart Scott’s comments
This isn’t the first time Bart Scott has acted this unprofessional towards Bengals players. Few will forget the “red dot” incident that Scott brought up in reference to the Ravens’ defense going after Joe Burrow. By reading closer, it sounded more like a bounty, which was called out immediately, as was this.
Additionally, the incident of Skip Bayless and his tweet was compared to Scott. Realistically speaking, both have the same value, as the comments were despicable and unwarranted. This is not about a game; this is about a man’s life. Sometimes, power corrupts reasonability.
Unfortunately, Scott didn’t seem to get that message and instead chose to take a hot-take route that was uncalled for and rightfully blasted. Good on the NFL world for coming together and calling out the analyst for a comment that had no business in being spoken, given the precarious state of affairs.
