[Le'Veon Bell] The Steelers don’t pay their stars, unless you know what. (in response to the Joey Porter Jr. trade)

The you know what, in this case, is likely the race card. Le'Veon referenced it earlier today on another social media platform, claiming that the Steelers don’t pay "black superstars they drafted" (e.g, him, Antonio Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster) as much as "white ones they draft". Le'Veon was also a holdout in 2018, refusing to play unless he was extended. The Steelers did not do so, resulting in him missing the entire season and then getting traded to the Jets for 2019.   submitted by   /u/PlayaSlayaX [link]   [comments]
