Mayfield’s decision to get off social media makes sense. Professional athletes leave themselves open to criticism from all angles — warranted or otherwise — by making themselves available on virtual platforms. That’s true of Mayfield, who struggled amid injuries and COVID-19 in 2021 as the Browns limped to an 8-9 record and third-place finish in the AFC North.
It’s apparent Mayfield has heard the rumblings of disgruntled fans. He declined to speak to media following a 13-10 win over the then-winless Lions on Nov. 21, prompting his wife, Emily, to make posts criticizing his teammates in an effort to defend his toughness. Those posts were later deleted. The following day, Mayfield said he doesn’t “really care” when Cleveland fans boo him.
Mayfield said at the time:
Those are probably the fans that won’t be quiet while we’re on offense and trying to operate, so (I) don’t really care.
See ya later Baker…
