Punk, the heavyweight champion of the world and an unabashed Chicago sports fan, verbally criticized angry Giants fans in an interview on “Barstool Yak” on Wednesday.
“I mean, life isn’t fair, but I think those are just stupid Giants fans,” Punk said. “I mean, do you want to alienate him more? So he doesn’t want to play for your shitty franchise. Yeah, I said it.
“I don’t know the politics of the Giants and their fans and all that, but it seems ridiculous to me. Celebrities and sports stars have been mixing it up with professional wrestling since the beginning of time, so I don’t understand why you’re mad. The guy’s out with a broken leg; he broke his leg for you playing for your football Giants, and now you’re going to try to get mad at him for what? I don’t understand.”

Skattebo suffered a season-ending ankle injury. He was sitting in the front row with some of his Giants teammates, including rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter, when the segment occurred.

“If he did a backflip off the top rope and re-injured himself or did something that impeded his recovery, I understand that, but he didn’t do any of that.”
Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka also had no problem with Skattebo’s viral moment. He said he was not concerned about Skattebo’s safety.
“I knew they were going to the event. It was a rookie event,” Kafka said. “We have some team events that our support staff put on so the rookies could come out. So I thought that was kind of cool. I know it was like a little set up fight there.

“It was cool to see Skatt before the game, on the bench. His juice, his energy, you can feel it. I can feel it through the TV and my phone when I was watching the clips. So, it’s a cool event for those guys to come out and be in the community.”
