Odell Beckham Jr pointed out a double-standard in the way both he and someone like Tom Brady are viewed.
On Sunday, Brady was seen yelling at his offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels following a bad pass.

Someone tweeted that when Brady yells at a coach, it’s considered a reflection of the QB’s “passion.” However, if Beckham were to do something similar, the commentary would likely be much different.
It’s “passion” bro. Imagine if @OBJ_3 showed some of this “passion” towards any of his coaches… Smh #DoubleStandard https://t.co/FFocdQG0U9

Beckham agreed. He sent multiple tweets about the matter, saying that his passion is the same as Brady’s.
Listen when I say this is the craziest thing someone ever has tweeted or posted to me because I LITERALLY had this same conversation today about the EXACT thing ur takin about it. “There’s rules..and then there’s rules..” https://t.co/WiTVSL31ar

Or ….immmaturity , or “needs to grow up” or “selfish” or… umm what else is it exactly that ‘they’ say…. or “umcomposed” no bro , I’ve watched that man do that exact same thing for years. Beat every time I cheered for in the super bowls… https://t.co/WiTVSL31ar

I learned from him. This is the . So I’m following his lead, I just may not know how to express it the same way. But don’t get it confused , how 12 feels about the game , I would have a hard time sayin that’s not EXACTLY how I feel. #GoatChasin https://t.co/WiTVSL31ar

It’s hard not to agree with him about his point. One player’s “passion” is another player’s “meltdown.”
