Over the past 11 months, running back Le’Veon Bell has hypocritically held out for the entire 2019 NFL season, released a new music EP, signed a 4-year, $52.5 million contract with the New York Jets after previously saying there’s no way he’d sign with them for $60 million, gotten into a beef with Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen over his music, and had two girlfriends he left naked in bed steal $1 million worth of jewelry from him.
Bell also reportedly was told he has to have his social media posts approved by head coach Adam Gase before releasing them online.
That last one may or may not be true, but if it is then Bell’s recent diatribe posted to social media over the weekend, blasting critics who complain that he isn’t 100 percent focused on football, may reveal that his new boss is giving him a lot of latitude to post what he wants.
“Hey, real sh*t, bro. I’m tired of social media sh*t, I’m tired everybody telling me, ‘Oh, Le’Veon, you not focused. You only wanna make music. You wanna play basketball. You do everything besides play football,'” Bell said as he walked down a large flight of stairs at an airport.
“Let me tell you all something. I know you’ve got a favorite person, a favorite athlete, your mom, your dad, whatever you wanna do… somebody works at Target. You think when they work from 9 to 5, they go home and all they’re worried about is putting f**king sh*t on the shelves? You think they’re worried about what serial numbers comin’ up? You think Bron is waking up, and he ain’t have no Taco Tuesdays? Bron don’t have Taco Tuesdays, you think he’s hoopin’ all day? You think Beyoncé is waking up singing all day? She don’t go to work, she don’t act? She don’t do nothing else with her kids? She’s waking up singing?”
And on he went, so long in fact, that he had to make it a two-part video, so be sure to swipe.

Some of the comments Bell got on his video came from other athletes like LeSean McCoy (“Hahah yeah”), Melvin Gordon (“Lmfaoooooo 😂😂😂😂 aye you got me weak !!! Big facts tho”), DeAndre Hopkins (“True say!!!”), and Karl-Anthony Towns (“For all the goofies out there. @leveonbell speaking facts right here.”)
Soooo… Steelers fans… do you miss Bell and Antonio Brown yet?
That’s what I thought.
