ESPN's Booger McFarland takes 'African American' NFL players to task amid Dwayne Haskins saga

After a turbulent year in the “Monday Night Football” booth, Booger McFarland has been honing his chops on the ESPN analyst desk during the 2020 NFL season.

Amid a roundtable discussion about Dwayne Haskins on “Monday Night Countdown,” McFarland delivered a take that, well — let’s just say it will garner some attention.

The Washington Football team released Haskins on Monday, a shocking decision considering it used a first-round draft pick on the Ohio State quarterback just last year. But when adding up Haskins’ performance on the field, his off-field COVID-19 protocol transgressions and the fact that Ron Rivera, in his first year in Washington, had nothing to do with drafting him, the move becomes a little less stunning.
