The Washington Redskins were having tons of fun taunting Johnny Manziel, nicknamed Johnny Football, during the preseason game. The Redskins' very own Brian Orakpo succeeded, getting on the nerves of the Cleveland Browns quarterback as he flipped them off with his middle finger.
As reported here, Manziel's middle finger gesture was caught by dozens of TV cameras, spectators, and the Redskins' sideline.The rookie quarterback couldn't phase out the teasing and the mocking, losing his concentration on the game itself. Instead of focusing on the next play, Manziel waved his middle finger around like there was no tomorrow.
What set off the usually calm and composed sports star? Redskins safety Ryan Clark tells ESPN Radio's "Mike & Mike," what triggered the obscene gesture, "The statement was, 'This isn't college anymore and these people are faster than you are.' He didn't like it. And that was me cleaning up the statement. That's pretty much what it was."
The rookie quarterback lost his composure, flipping the entire team off, but didn't realize the flashing camera lens were on him. Check out the look on Maziel's face when he got caught on camera here.
Linebacker Orakpo, who was the instigator of the hazing, tells ESPN, "It was hilarious! We were messing with him a little bit, just saying this ain't college and stuff like that. We were having a little fun."
Orakpo continues, "Manziel flipped us off. It was something funny. We were all laughing on the sidelines."
Unfortunately, Orakpo can laugh it off while Manziel has to answer for his actions by his coach and teammates the next couple of days. What will the sports athlete do the next time he is ridiculed and has his moment of weakness?
Washington Redskins Brian Orakpo isn't going to let Johnny Manziel's middle finger ruin his day. Readers, what do you think of Cleveland Browns' middle finger gesture?
