IFWT_Carter Bridgewater Sapp

This idea of a “fall guy” isn’t new, rappers, athletes and other celebrities with a lot to lose sometimes have someone in their crew who will take the fall should anything go down.  The celeb then takes care of that friend monetarily.  But the words were actually said publicly by NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter and now he’s coming under heavy fire with ESPN, the NFL and more condemning his advice.

During an NFL rookie symposium, Carter delivered the advice to the young rookies.

“In case y’all not going to decide to do the right thing, if y’all got a crew, you’ve got to have a fall guy in the crew,” Carter said, as shown on the video.

“I let my homeboys know, y’all want to keep rolling like this, then I need to know who gonna be the fall guy, who’s going to be driving,” Carter said. “Y’all not going to all do the right stuff now. So I’ve got to teach you how to get around all this stuff, too. If you’re going to have a crew, one of them fools got to know he going to jail. We’ll get him out.”

Sapp repeated “We’ll get him out,” and chuckled.

“I know none of y’all going to never drink late, I know none of y’all going to never use no drugs or anything, all of y’all going to go to bible study,” Carter said in a sarcastic tone. “I realize that – but still get you a fall guy. If you’re going to have a crew, make sure they understand, can’t nothing happen to you. Your name can’t be in lights, under no circumstances. You all understand that?”

Carter took to his Twitter account and apologized for his comments.
