Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf refused to answer questions regarding his two-game suspension during his media availability on Monday.
Metcalf, who was suspended after making contact with a fan during his club’s Week 16 victory over the Detroit Lions, was asked five times to share details regarding his suspension and the appeal process. Metcalf refused, answering each of the questions with the same couple of phrases.
“No, I can’t… I can’t walk you all through nothing that happened,” Metcalf said, as shared by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.”… I can’t say nothing about what happened… I can’t say anything about what happened, for the fifth time.”
Ryan Kennedy, the fan, told the Detroit Free Press that he called the veteran by his full name — DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf — and “categorically denies using the ‘N-word,’ the ‘C-word’ or any racial, misogynistic, or hate-based language during the incident,” according to a statement released by Shawn Head and Sean Murphy of Head Murphy Law Firm.
Metcalf has not directly addressed the incident, and it looks like he’ll continue to keep quiet until the entire matter is resolved.
