Earlier this week, Giants owner John Mara took a shot at Odell Beckham at the owner’s meeting when he said he wanted the wide receiver to do a little “more playing and a little less talking”.

I wish he would create the headlines by his play on the field as opposed to what he says and what he does off the field,” Mara told reporters at the NFL owners’ meetings. “I think he needs to do a little more playing and a little less talking.”
Immediately after Mara’s comments made headlines a video of the Giants owner throwing a tantrum and slamming a chair in the owner’s box from a game in 2017 resurfaced online.

Odell Beckham’s father saw the video and blasted Mara for criticizing his son while also having thrown a tantrum himself.
