CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM-CLEVELAND, Ohio-The NFL on Wednesday reinstated Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett following an indefinite suspension issued three months ago for his aggressive behavior during an on-the field brawl at a game at Cleveland Browns Stadium between the Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game the Browns won against the longtime rival 21-7.

The good news came following a meeting two days earlier between Garrett and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The league had upheld Garrett's indefinite suspension and a $45,623 fine, Garrett, 23, and his lawyers saying the punishment was too harsh, and was likely racist since Garrett allegedly reacted following an alleged racial slur not on record.  


"We welcome Myles back with open arms," Cleveland Browns General Manger Andrew Berry said in a statement. "We know he is grateful to be reinstated and eager to put the past behind him and continue to grow as a leader."

Opinions vary on Garrett's historic punishment, some saying the sport itself promotes violence and that it is hypocritical to hand the Black NFL ballplayer such a harsh punishment.  

A former college football player at Texas A&M and a first round draft pick for the Browns in 2017, Garrett accused Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph of directing a racial slur at him before he pulled off his helmet and hit Rudolph over the head with it, the impetus for his indefinite suspension from the league last season. 


While Rudolph, who is White, said he accepts some responsibility for his actions during the brawl, he denies making a racial slur toward Garrett.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
