Panthers coach talks with LB Shaq Thompson after vulgar Snapchat video
Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera talked with linebacker Shaq Thompson about a vulgar Snapchat video the rookie posted after Sunday’s win.
After Carolina’s 31-24 victory over the Seahawks, Thompson, a former standout at the University of Washington, posted a video to his Snapchat account using three expletives denigrated the Seahawks and their fans.
“I got a message,” Thompson began the video, which has since been deleted but was captured elsewhere on the Internet. “(Blank) y’all. (Blank) the Seahawks. Keep pounding (blank).”
Rivera said he has moved on from it.
“I sat down with Shaq,” Rivera said Wednesday. “I discussed it. It's over. So we decided the best thing for all of us is to move forward and get ready for Arizona.”
