Odell Beckham Jr. gets honest about the haters

Odell Beckham spoke to the media this week and gave a very candid answer about those who may question his dedication to the sport. As you can tell from the quote, he’s not letting social media hate get to him.

Are you able to ignore the people who said “Oh, he’s just here for a paycheck,” or did that bother you personally?

Odell: Respectfully, it sounds messed up so it’s going to be a bad quote, but I’m not getting paid a crazy amount of dollars. I could be making money if I had more time elsewhere outside of this building. A lot of my contract is incentives-based so that means I have to reach certain numbers to be able to get that money. So for me, respectfully, I don’t really care for opinion. I care for my son. I care for my close family. I’ve grown so far past that because at the end of the day, you could be the most perfect person in the world, say the most perfect quotes and all that, there’s still somebody out there who’s going to hate on you. So there’s no point in getting yourself caught up over that. I’ve said the quote – Purell hand sanitizer cleans 99.9 percent of germs. There’s always still going to be that little something, you know what I mean? (laughter) So there’s just no point in worrying about someone’s opinion and all that, like I’ll never see some of y’all in my life again. You have an account with zero posts and 89 followers and whatever. Congrats, enjoy your life, I’m going to enjoy mine. I’m so far past someone’s opinion of me; I know who I am. I always say, I know where I live so I never need to address anything.
