On Wednesday morning, Mayfield, who is currently seeking a trade out of Cleveland, appeared on the Ya Never Know podcast to talk about how he felt disrespected by the franchise after they pursued Watson this offseason.
During the interview, Mayfield went on to take a shot at fans by saying that he wished he could go into their cubicles and boo them just to watch them crumble.
“I would love to show up to somebody’s cubicle and just boo the shit out of them and watch them crumble.”

Baker’s comments didn’t sit well with fans who fired back at him on social media.
This has always been one of the dumbest takes from pro athletes. Your job is entertainment. You are showcasing a skill to entertain. That certainly doesn’t warrant hate speech or any form of violence, but shut up with the whining about fans booing. Fans don’t owe you adoration https://t.co/vAzSlgIju0

I’ll tell you what. For 33 million over 4 years he can show up to my job, slap me around, call me whatever he wants, and talk bad about my momma. https://t.co/ckOYisRlQ3
