Fox Sports' Terry Bradshaw slammed for 'suicide' comment about Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray
Fox Sports' Terry Bradshaw has come under fire for a recent comment he made on "Fox NFL Sunday" that included Arizona Cardinals' Kyler Murray.
On the network's pregame NFL show, Bradshaw, a former NFL quarterback, shared his thoughts during a discussion about whether or not the Cardinals needed to have Murray run more as part of their offense.
He said: "They’re not gonna run. They’re not gonna do it. They just can’t do it. Their mentality is throw, throw, throw, throw. I think if this kid ran five or six runs in a row, I think he’d commit suicide or something.”

Bradshaw's comment appeared to leave some of his coworkers in shock.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, that’s a little dark for this audience," Howie Long said.
Bradshaw's comment drew strong criticism on social media.
Bradshaw recently announced that he had been diagnosed with two forms of cancer, but said that he is now cancer-free.
He said that he waited nearly a year to reveal his diagnosis because he "didn't want pity."
People are not giving him pity for his suicide comment on Sunday.
If you or someone you know may be struggling with suicidal thoughts, you can call or text the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 any time day or night, or chat online at 988lifeline.org.
