Ron Rivera says Panthers will end bat tradition, takes shot at NFL
The Panthers refute that claim, stating that the bat has always been a motivational symbol for the franchise this season.

Losing Beckham would be a major blow to the Giants as they attempt to beat the Vikings and remain in the playoff picture. “His thing is, I don’t ever want to hurt my team, I just want to fight for my team”.
OK, that’s a lie.
The biggest fallout for the NFL from the helmet-to-helmet shot by New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Carolina Panthers cornerback Josh Norman on Sunday wasn’t the league suspending Beckham for one game.
“The bat is a huge misunderstanding”, Rivera said. They use it every weekend. Ball has the bat at his side; the two jaw for a couple of seconds; punter Brad Wing steps in between them and Beckham walks away. Now I’d like you to intervene right there, Stephen A., and let me know: “how are you on a football field with a baseball bat?” Here’s some more video showing some of what went down.
Beckham is expected to appeal the suspension Tuesday and a hearing could be scheduled for Wednesday.
But does anything excuse a reaction like Beckham’s?
Beckham has been suspended one game for his actions against Norman, though he is appealing.
Benwikere also spoke out on Twitter Monday, posting a photo of himself holding a wooden black bat before the game against the Falcons. According to Jason LaCanfora, the Giants allege that Beckham was called homophobic slurs by Ball and cornerback Josh Norman.
Those calling for Giants coach Tom Coughlin’s head because he refused to take his best offensive weapon out of the game are delusional, though.
Not only is he trying to get his team into the postseason, he’s fighting for his own job.
The Odell Beckham suspension was enacted by Merton Hanks, who is the NFL Vice President of Football Operations. “For the purposes of this policy, “foreign objects” broadly encompasses any item that is neither intrinsic to the game nor necessary to conduct pregame drills and treat and prepare players for the game”. There was once an entire team of players in this league, the Oakland Raiders, who were celebrated for doling out such damage.
Why do physical altercations constitute suspensions while homophobic slurs and threats get dealt with through monetary penalties?
