One hell of a player, but JPP has no class.

Giants' Prince Amukamara, thrown in cold tub by Jason Pierre-Paul, tries to accept hazing

Amukamara appeared to express both sides of the argument when asked for his reaction.

“Yeah, um, well, I mean, I just don’t get it. I don’t understand the rules,” last year’s first-round pick told The Star-Ledger. “I mean, I’m not a rookie anymore, so I don’t know why I’m getting thrown in the tub. I know it’s all love.

“Yeah, no one ever likes it, especially when it’s you vs. eight and no one’s helping you. But it doesn’t mess up our team morale or anything.”

Former Giants safety Deon Grant said he’d protect Amukamara “until he gets to talking too much.” Asked if he did anything to provoke this latest toss into the tub, Amukamara said, “I don’t think I did. Ask them.”

In the meantime, he’s apparently not partaking in the tradition of picking on rookies. In fact, after third-round pick Jayron Hosley dropped the ball in the end zone as he celebrated a 77-yard interception return for a touchdown on Saturday, Amukamara went and picked up the football so Hosley could keep it for posterity.

“I did,” Amukamara said. “Yeah, because you’re not thinking. You just made a play for the team, you just want to go celebrate with your teammates and you forget the ball. … I just tried to hurry up and get the ball for him so he could keep it as his first touchdown.”continue
