Jason Piere-Paul Prank On Prince Amakamara

Doesn't seem like a prank based on how others are reacting in the video.

 

[rquoter]“I’m going to look into it, I’m going to talk to the parties involved,” Coughlin said Sunday, via Mike Garafolo of the Newark Star-Ledger. “As I’m understanding it, there were some parts of it that were inappropriate. And in no way, anything that occurs within this family or within our group should be a part of social media. I’m going to address that strongly because I spent a little time on that this preseason.”

Coughlin said he wasn’t aware of the video until roughly an hour before a Sunday conference call with reporters.

...

“Yeah, um, well, I mean, I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the rules,” Amukamara told Garafolo. “I mean, I’m not a rookie anymore, so I don’t know why I’m getting thrown in the tub. I know it’s all love.”

If that’s love, we’d hate to see, you know, hate.

Apparently, Amukamara has been a regular target for hazing or harassment or whatever the appropriate word is. He said he landed in the cold tub eight times last year, and he had his shirt and tie cut. Garafolo writes that players have been trying to get Amukamara to “develop an edge.”

As to the latest incident, Amukamara is confused as to the reason for the dunking. “I don’t think I did [anything to provoke it],” Amukamara said. “I don’t think I did. Ask them.”

It may still happen, at least for a while. Amukamara said that the veterans have told him that he has three more regular-season games to complete before he’s considered “one of them.”

Based on how “them” were acting in that video, Amukamara may decide to pass on the invitation.[/rquoter]

 

Don't haze me bro.

 

Absolutely disgusting. There's no room for this type of behavior at the professional level. Pierre-Paul should be cut immediately.

 

Maybe if he was some 4th string defensive end.....

 

technically you're still a rookie until you play your first regular season game in your second year.

 

....do you watch football? Millions and Millions of revenue and value for a super bowl win and you think he should be cut for throwing a guy into a tub?

 

Exactly...


...My team could use a good defensive end.

 

Correct.

 

You've either never been around sports, a locker room, or any kind of close-knit group atmosphere where there are initiations, or you're just really, REALLY sensitive. I know you're a girl, but come on....this is FOOTBALL. Pierre-Paul dunked him in a tub....he didn't kill his dog. Being on a team is like being in a frat....you're going to have all levels of maturity within the group. Some guys can handle it, other guys can't.

 

I don't know, there seemed to be something bigger at play here than traditional rookie hazing. Taping someone to a goalpost, making them sing in front of the team, making them carry pads ... that's what you usually associate with it.

The fact that Prince seemed genuinely pissed off and didn't even crack a smile is telling. Unless he's just a grumpy guy, I'd say this was a little more to this than harmless hazing. But it's hard to tell.

 

Not sure if this post is serious.....
