According to TMZ Sports, the Rams are banning Eric Dickerson from the sidelines of their games due to critical comments he’s made about the team. On his Monday radio show Dickerson said,
Someone with the Rams told me I’m not wanted on sidelines at games, that what I’ve said makes the players uncomfortable.
Apparently Dickerson’s honesty is unsettling and I’m not sure how and why this is an issue. Dickerson is in the media and it’s his job to be critical of what he sees. As a former Rams player he only wants the best for the franchise and I’d argue his comments are spot on. Unfortunately for Dickerson this is another example of a NFL team doing their best to control the media.
The Rams organization have yet to make a comment on whether or not Dickerson has been banned officially.
