New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. went down in the first quarter of Monday night’s game with an ankle injury. It was most definitely a scary scene for the Giants, as Beckham was shown keeled over on the way to the locker room (watch here).
As this was happening, fans of the homestanding Browns were heard booing Beckham Jr.
Giants Pro Bowler Damon Harrison took major exception to this.
You don't "boo" somebody when they get hurt. Not cool Cleveland fans. Not cool at all. I know u guys were excited about winning but damn.

I know y'all came to see him so come down to NJ if it's that serious. U just don't boo a injured player. Congrats on the win. Enjoy.

The booing itself wasn’t widespread, but you could definitely hear it.

First off, booing an injured player is not okay in any capacity. Those who did were likely upset the game was stopped for as long as it was. And while Beckham Jr. escaped with a sprained ankle, he was most definitely in a lot of pain. Not a good look for the Browns and their fans.
