Panthers’ Rivera: No more bat on field
Norman was by no means blameless and did his part to instigate the action, but the more disappointing behaviour came from the New York Giants wide receiver, who appeared intent from the get-go on peacocking his toughness. Beckham and Panthers cornerback Josh Norman were involved in several physical altercations during the game, culminating with a helmet-to-helmet hit initiated by Beckham in the third quarter. A Charlotte Observer reporter said Panthers players have been instructed not to publicly discuss Beckham or the situation.

In a letter to Beckham, Hanks expressed, “At numerous times during yesterday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, your actions placed a fellow player at unnecessary risk… and clearly did not represent the high standards of sportsmanship expected”.
The Giants confirmed a practice squad player confronted Beckham while holding a bat; Giants Daily released a video of the pregame incident.
On Monday, the National Football League threw the book at Beckham for the flagrant hit, suspending him for the Giants’ next game, a matchup against the Vikings in Minneapolis next Sunday. The Panthers counter that they regularly bring that bat onto the field during warmups as a tradition not pertaining to Beckham.

“I will defend him as long as I’m able and I told our team that”. The referees, the coaching staff for both teams and the teammates of Odell and Norman should have prevented this from going as far as it did.
Rivera wondered aloud whether Monday’s reports were somebody’s attempt at “spin control” while Beckham and the Giants waited for the league to announce his suspension.
Asked about the personal fouls, he said Sunday, “You never want to hurt your team like that”. But there were things said to him about the bat.

“I hate the behavior of these players now, and I have been on Beckham many times this year about the stuff that’s going on”. Norman was flagged once for unsportsmanlike conduct but not suspended. The NFL made positive Tues.in that Rivera & different coaches have been clear on the principles. “Then it got personal, you start talking about his hairstyle, then you start talking about his sexuality”. Now, I don’t think he felt threatened for his life.
