REPORT: Justin Fields is accused of being white-antied by the son of one of the game’s greatest player.
In a surprising disclosure, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields has found himself the target of a “white-anting” campaign launched by the son of one of the NFL’s most well-known players.
According to sources, the young player, who is said to be jealous of Fields’ success, has been distributing false information and stories about the Steelers signal-caller’s performance and leadership abilities in an attempt to damage his position on the club.
The “white-anting” campaign is said to have started shortly after Fields joined the Steelers and quickly established himself as a leader and fan favorite. According to sources close to the team, the player’s son was allegedly frustrated by the attention and praise that Fields was receiving, and began to spread negative rumors and misinformation about the quarterback in an attempt to tarnish his reputation.
“It’s really sad to see someone stoop to such a level,” said one anonymous team source.
While Fields has remained tight-lipped about the alleged “white-anting” campaign, it is believed that he is aware of the situation and is taking steps to protect himself and his reputation. The Steelers organization, for its part, has issued a statement condemning the actions of the player’s son and affirming their support for Fields.
“We are aware of the situation and are taking the necessary steps to address it,” said Steelers general manager Omar Khan. “Justin is a valuable member of our team and we will not tolerate any attempts to undermine his position within the organization.”
