It doesn’t matter how the world looks at professional athletes, their mothers will always view them as babies and will attack as such.
NY Daily News reporter Manish Mehta is finding that out.
Mehta posted a tweet which seemed to indicate ex-Jets DE Mohammad Wilkerson’s ouster was partly caused by some undocumented ‘alcohol issues’. Wilkerson’s mother Ka’idah caught wind of said tweet and was not happy, to say the least.
She called into Boomer Esiason’s radio show on WFAN and let the shells fly in Mehta’s direction, accusing him of trying to sabotage Wilkerson while he’s looking for work. She makes it a point to note that he’s never admitted to being an alcoholic, having “alcohol problems”, or having any alcohol-related run-ins with law enforcement.
The interview is actually really good & paints a picture of how Ka’idah has been feeling about the NY media for some time now.
