Miami Dolphins quarterback Teddy Bridgewater on Monday took to social media to address his fellow players, urging them to stop acting “gangsta” and instead act as a role model.Bridgewater laid into NFL players who make it to the big league and proceed to “portray this tough guy image or pretend he’s a gansta.”
“So don’t wait till you inherit this legal money from the league to decide you want to be tough or portray a ‘street image’ cause it’s kids that’s looking up to everything we do,” he said. “Plus it’s someone sitting in a cell or posted in the hood who might’ve been just as hood as you that would advise you otherwise,” he continued before speaking directly to children, urging them to be wise and ignore the fake “gangsta” attitude and portrayal.
“Look at me, I’m far from perfect but I chose the ball route but I still can go to the hood and post up and it’s all love,” he said.
