Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald made headlines last Thursday when he swung a helmet at Cincinnati Bengals players during a joint practice session.
In an interview with CBS Sports Radio’s Zach Gelb, Donald was asked about the helmet incident. He wasn’t in the mood to really talk about it.
“It was just an exercise. Obviously people were pulling out phones and things like that,” Donald said. “I don’t really want to talk about negative things that happened in a practice. My main focus is Buffalo.”
When asked if there had been internal punishment, Donald replied, “We talked.”
After Yellow asked another question, he was interrupted by a PR person conducting the interview. He attempted to ask another question on the subject, but Donald preferred to talk about a product he sponsored instead.
NFL fans aren’t thrilled with the way Donald handled this interview.
If Donald wasn’t willing to talk about this incident, planning a media tour probably wasn’t the right move.
Donald wasn’t really disciplined for swinging a helmet at his opponents in practice last Thursday.
We’ll catch Donald in action next Thursday when the Rams take on the Buffalo Bills in their season opener.
