Of course the media engages in hyperbole and click baiting. But it only takes a tiny amount of discernment to figure out that the reactions of his teammates are not click bait. These are THEIR words that THEY made public on twitter. Drew was asked a question and responded. And it was a reasonable answer. But his teammates acted like a bunch of bigots and not only jumped down his throat about it but, as I said, did so publicly.

It's kind of pathetic the lengths some people will go to in order to excuse the behavior of their beloved football heroes. There is literally no way to construe this reaction by the players as being a media narrative. The media and the players have INVENTED this narrative, together, and no doubt the media will milk it for all it's worth, but this never would have been an issue if these guys knew how to handle a disagreement like grown men.

Now Drew has bent over to political correctness, instead of standing his ground. I'm not sure there is a single principled person left in the NFL.
