Quote

"I told him I was going to cover his salary, whatever the NFL was going to pay him or whatever. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what's right and take care of you, make sure you're not out of a job. That's my guy."

 

I'm not really a fan of Tyreek Hill as a person, but I thought this was rather decent of him. He grabbed a guy's phone after scoring a TD and did a backflip. Apparently the photographer worked for the NFL and the NFL informed him that he would be suspended afterwards. Hill said he going to cover the guy's salary which was lost due to what he did. Pretty decent to look out for the young man like that.

The kid who got canned posted up a nice piece on X detailing his career and his friendship with Tyreek…it was interesting. FWIW, Many people who replied to that post felt that the NFL was wrong for firing him, and that they should actually promote him to reach a young audience.

 

Edit: for those of you that are on X, the kid’s handle is @kfitzsports and you can see the post I mention above there. The title of the post is “The journey continues”

The photographer and Hill are actually good friends. They have worked and collaborated before in the past. Long relationship there. It's still nice. Don't get me wrong. He didn't have to, of course. But a bit different when it's a buddy as opposed to some random person IMO.

yeah, i don't buy this wasn't set up or something beforehand. hill and this kid have a history and the kid used to post all over social media clout chasing about he and Hill were buddies. he then used that to get ahold of other nfl guys to take their picture and make hype videos akin to any other kid on youtube.

 

i would bet there is a lot more to this story than being reported and i know that the "nfl" does not pay much attention to this but they have a whole department who monitors the credentials of photographers, etc. his behavior might have also been a bit too much - as i have seen in his earlier posting where he interacts with players during games and does not maintain a professional demeanor.

 

tl,dr: i think there is a lot more to this than whats shown. kids a known douche clout chaser.

Well, he is a friend of Tyreek Hill... I wouldn't expect Hill to be friends with an actual good person.

If you take away the multiple assaults on his pregnant girlfriend and the fact that he beat his toddler to the point of breaking his arm, you could make a case that Hill isn't that bad.  

 

*Until you realize that this whole thing was set up and the photographer is an idiot if he didn't know he would be fired for taking part.

You’re not funny. And I’ll compare my exist to yours any day of the week (my dad can beat up your dad). 

 

You haven't been funny since 1992. Compare it on Saturday, because I feel that is my best day. I'm not good on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. 😉

The guy is scum but imagine him on the Bills catching passes from Josh? His speed with Allen's arm..that would be historic.

Man, I can’t imagine what he could do w a TE who gets coverages to leave a safety down and a QB with an arm like Allen or Maholmes, can you?

I don't know who Maholmes is. Perhaps you're referring to Mahomes. Regardless, I think Allen has more pure talent than him so yes, I do imagine how Hill would do here.

Yes it's a distasteful way to refer to an unmarried parent of a child.  A low key insult in the context it was used here.

They all should be insulted. They're all trash and the poor children have to deal with these folks as parents.

They aren’t his girlfriends. They aren’t his longtime partners. They aren’t his wives.

 

They are his baby’s momma’s. 
 

What tasteful term do you want them to be called? His one-night stands?

Further proof that money truly is the great equalizer.

He is one of the ugliest human beings on earth; is 5’7”; and has a history of beating women and kids. But he is really fast and worth $30 million! 
 

women are amazing but it’s hilarious what they will look past for security. Could you imagine if you met the female version of Tyreek? Would you ever want to get her pregnant? 🤮
