Maxx Crosby downplayed his weirdly forceful push of a Raiders coach on the sidelines

Let the record show that if you push someone who is technically one of your bosses, then characterizing it as a love tap of sorts is something no one will buy.

Someone needs to relay this memo to Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby.

On Sunday, as the Pittsburgh Steelers pummelled the Raiders in a 32-13 win, Crosby started showing more and more visible frustration. His annoyance ended up manifesting in a forceful push of Raiders run game coordinator/linebackers coach Mike Caldwell on the sideline.

Needless to say, this is an unacceptable display from someone who is supposed to be a Raiders leader:

As the incident rightfully went viral, Crosby caught wind of the internet’s reaction after the Raiders’ loss and tried to downplay the incident as a “love push” that everyone was reaching about. Uh-huh, sure:

Everyone knows that it’s only a love push when you angrily push an authority figure in a blowout loss. Mhm. We should totally buy that.
