NFL Films posted a strange video that was overheating before the safety of the Lions, Brian Branch, decided to delete it.
Earlier this week, the NFL suspended Detroit Lions safety Brian for starting a fight with Juju Smith-Schuster after their game against the Kansas City Chiefs.On Wednesday, they insisted on the suspension as the branch tried to appeal the decision.And on Thursday, NFL Films added insult to injury, posting a shocking and offensive video as part of its "NFL Turning" webcast.
NFL Films releases an unusually offensive video of Brian Branch, then deletes it
NFL Pictures posted a funny picture to protect the shares of the Safety of the Safety Sunday did not make the decision to terminate them.
The video, which attempts to put Branch's disappointing night against the Chiefs into context, is unusually offensive for a league-produced video.While trying to show Branch's growing anger during the game, the video unnecessarily shows Branch getting beat up multiple times [editor's note: sometimes misattributing blame] and missing a tackle or two. They finally get to the bottom of Branch's frustrations when JuJu Smith-Schuster throws an illegal block behind Branch that he specifically cites as the reason for his frustration.
But perhaps worst of all is the strange tale from former NFL Player and Office employee Louis Riddick.His tone and choice of words are too insulting.Here is a transcription of the short excerpt:

On Thursday night, the NFL took down the video, recognizing the ineffectiveness of such abuse to its player.However, we've saved it if you want to see it below:
