Before Wednesday’s hearing on his appeal, Beckham used Twitter to apologize for his on-field behavior last week. I told him he can’t let stuff that people say get to you. I work hard to be great and accepting the Blessing of having the physical skills to play at this level brings the responsibility to conduct myself in a certain way on and off the field. “This is an important social issue”, Rivera said yesterday, in reference to the slur allegations.

Beckham Jr. was assessed three personal fouls during the teams’ Week 15 matchup following multiple scuffles with Panthers cornerback Josh Norman, who reportedly was fined ,044 for his involvement in the scrums.

Coughlin said he would not discuss Beckham and the Panthers further. He was wrong. There was no doubt about it. You’d like that didn’t happen. “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”. Since then, there has been a lot of talk about Panthers players (including Norman) menacing Beckham with bats before the game and taunting him with gay slurs, which puts his on-field meltdown into a slightly different light. The player never swung the bat, Wing said. They’re probably going to send me something about that… but I’m going to appeal it, and I’m going to get my justified case about the whole situation.

In his apology from the Giants’ website, Beckham made it clear that he was not trying to make any excuses, he just wanted to apologize for his behavior.
