Malik Nabers isn’t second-guessing his decision to attend a rap concert while he was working his way through concussion protocol despite the social media firestorm it created.
Coach Brian Daboll declined to offer his opinion on the matter, saying he wanted to keep the issue “in-house.”“I mean that’s my business,” he said on Friday in his first public comments since suffering the head injury. “What I do outside this facility has nothing to do with what the media thinks or whatever they got going on, so that’s my business.” He declined to say what their reaction was to it, or what Daboll told him after the fact when they discussed the matter.
As far as the negative response to him going out in public while he was still on concussion protocol, Nabers said he wasn’t having any problems with lights or loud music, so he didn’t see it as an issue.Nabers attended the concert with teammate Isaiah Simmons, who asked him if loud music or lights would bother him ahead of time.
“I said I’ve been playing loud music since after the concussion in the car. I go out with the lights on. I play the game with lights,” Nabers said. “So, I didn’t have anything with lights. It wasn’t making my head hurt. The sound wasn’t making my head hurt, so I was fine.”But Nabers isn’t planning on changing how he lives his life.
“I mean most of the time I don’t , but I get it sent to my phone a lot, so it’s kind of hard to not ignore it,” he said. “But they’re making me more famous than I already am, so it’s cool to me.”The momentous Mets rise of Mark Vientos, as told by a scout who got it wrongMonster who tied dog to fence in hurricane says he did it because he 'couldn't find anyone' to watch the pooch
