Maxx Crosby discloses the NFL forced him to swap out his triangular facemask despite him sporting it

Maxx Crosby, the star quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, recently opened himself up on multiple issues. In his podcasting show, TheRushwithMaxxCrossby, the player spoke extensively about how the NFL authority forced him to swap his face mark.

The Raiders superstar was not happy with the NFL treating him like that, and he did not hide his agony over the incident. The player also said that he was only promoting sobriety on the field, and he did not find the right explanation to stop him from doing that.

Crosby has fought two battles both on and off-field. His fight with addiction is known to everyone, and that’s the sole reason he wanted to promote sobriety. He wore the mask to provide a clear message. However, that did not happen, as the NFL authority sent an official email to change his mask. 

“Why did you wear a helmet?” When the anchor asked him the question, the QB burst out. He said, “They may take my face mask off. They sent a nice email and said it had to go. Representing sobriety fullest, I got a tattoo on my neck, my hands, and everywhere. So I put my face mask. It means a lot to me. All of the people who watched understood what was going on.”

Later he was asked what the triangle meant to him. With no hesitation, the player attributed his success to sobriety. He also said that the triangle resembled him as a symbol of sobriety to him.

He further added, “The triangle to me represents SOBRIETY. It’s everything. It’s why I am here. It’s why I am doing this podcast. It’s why I got a beautiful daughter and family. Great circle of people. It’s literally everything. If I did not make the decision to clean my life up and give AA to 12 steps, I would not be here.”

Crosby’s problem with addiction

It is no secret that Crossby went through a phase of battling addiction. The player who made it to the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022 was on the verge of losing everything. Alcohol came between him and his efforts to access a good life. He checked into rehab and had his sessions. He emerged as a better human being, with no problem of addiction coming in the way. 

Crosby is not only one of the most successful defenders today but also an inspiration to millions of fans who are fighting their own hardships. Not only on the field but also in his life, he has successfully stopped the offense from penetrating.
