Giants' Evan Neal breaks his silence after attacking fanbase

The New York Giants have been thrown into the national spotlight, and not for great reason. After their abysmal loss on Primetime to the Seattle Seahawks which saw head coach Brian Daboll getting in his QB Daniel Jones' face, things aren't looking good.
To add insult to injury, Giants' Evan Neal took a shot at the fanbase after defending that he didn't flip them off after the game. Instead, Neal decided calling them hamburger and hotdog flippers would be a better solution.
I previously wrote about his comments being ripped to shreds by Don La Greca on Micahel Kay Show on ESPN Radio 98.7FM, also the YES Network, in which he maybe went a little too far with his attacks on Neal. Nevertheless, the fans are upset, and rightfully so.
Neal eventually opened up about his comments about the fanbase with an apology that had quickly gone viral. It won't fix everything, and he still has a long way to go to win over the hearts of fans, but it's a start.
Neal posted his apology to X which read, "I am wrong for lashing out at the fans who are just as passionate and frustrated as I am." He continued, "I let my frustrations in my play + desire to win get the best of me. I had no right to make light of anyone's job and I deeply regret the things I said."
The OT finished his sentiment with, "We are working day in and day out to grow as a team and this was an unnecessary distraction and I apologize."
While this is a good first step, it doesn't take away from the blatant attack on the fans who pay their hard-earned money to come to watch these athletes play. Taking a shot at the fanbase after being blown out under the bright lights of Primetime football was a huge mistake.
Here's hoping they can correct their issues on, and off the field.
