Good question there ...

For one thing, if Tyreek played for those teams, I wouldn't know him as well. That's an important factor, IMO.

I'm certainly not alone, but a lot of people have been fastidious in their research when Tyreek was drafted and extremely attentive to his behavior (both on and off the field) throughout his career with the Chiefs.

Frankly, that's why I don't pay a lot of attention to opposing fans' opinions about him. All they know (for the most part) is what they read on social media. And most of that material is critical if not entirely hate-centric ... as we are all well aware.

On the other hand, people who take the deep dive into Chiefs fandom have a right to believe they possess a better sense of who their players are as persons compared to some random Giants fan's opinion. We track their behavior and personalities ... they don't. That's true for all fans, all players, and all teams, of course.

So the short answer is, I don't actually know. To be fair, I probably wouldn't ... although I personally rarely drag people unless there's humor to be found in the attempt.

But I'd add this caveat; how is that relevant? I know more about some people than others. None of us knows everybody. Crucially, that's why "benefit of the doubt" and "presumption of innocence" is so important in life.
