Cam Skattebo lived the gimmick a bit too much.
The Giants’ bruising running back offered a social media mea culpa for some incredibly dumb comments on a recently-released podcast. Skattebo apologized for a “lapse in judgment” after calling asthma “fake” and downplaying Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as “an excuse.”
Skattebo’s statement in full on X:
I recently did an interview and had a lapse in judgment, which resulted in me making a tasteless joke about CTE and asthma. It was never my intention to downplay the seriousness of head injuries or asthma.
