The Tennessee Titans dropped to 0-3 on Sunday after suffering a 12-7 defeat to the New York Giants, with quarterback Cameron Ward and the offense once again struggling to generate enough production.
Ward’s sister asks fans to draw a line
Ward’s sister stressed that supporters have every right to criticize her brother’s performances and decisions on the field. However, she argued that football criticism should not turn into attacks against a player or his family away from the game. “There’s so much that happens outside of those football games that people will never see. Criticize football all you want. Criticize the performance, criticize the decisions. That comes with the territory. Being passionate about your team does not give you permission to forget people’s humanity,” Ward’s sister iterated. He was also sacked four times.
Ward finished Sunday’s game 19-of-30 passing for 173 yards without a touchdown or interception.
But threats, harassment, bullying and attacking someone’s family will never be ‘just part of the game.'” “Football is a game.
The pass proved costly, as Giants safety Jevon Holland was in position to make the interception and effectively ended Tennessee’s comeback hopes. On a first-and-goal play from the Giants’ 7-yard line, Ward scrambled into open space with less than 20 seconds left but chose to throw toward the end zone.
Chantel Ward revealed that she and her family have been subjected to threats, harassment and personal attacks following her brother’s performances. She made it clear that while criticism of a player’s football can be expected, targeting relatives crosses a line.
