Has Eric Dickerson Been Banned From Rams’ Sideline?

Los Angeles Rams legend Eric Dickerson made a stunning claim this afternoon during his radio program.

While speaking on his radio program on Monday, Los Angeles Rams legend Eric Dickerson is claiming he has basically been banned from the team’s sideline during games.

Dickerson, who is well-known for his harsh critiques of the Rams players and the team’s upper management, was allegedly told his presence on the sidelines makes Rams players uncomfortable:

According to TMZ’s sources, the personal responsible for the decision was “someone powerful.” Dickerson did not reveal who exactly made the decision, though.

In the past month or so, Dickerson has taken plenty of shots at different Rams players and personnel.

He went after Case Keenum and rightfully said he wasn’t a starting-caliber quarterback. He then blasted quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke and said he wasn’t the right man for the job to develop Jared Goff, and even defended head coach Jeff Fisher while calling the decision to draft Goff a “suits decision.”

Dickerson has no reason to lie and has always been a straight-shooter, but if this is indeed true, it’s a horrible look for the Rams that must be reversed.

To ban one of the team’s legends over his own opinions – which are often spot-on – looks petty and childish. Dickerson is entitled to his opinion and shouldn’t be punished for it unless he says something downright inappropriate.

As far as I can tell, Dickerson hasn’t done that. His opinion is refreshing and he reflects the overall dissatisfaction of the team’s fanbase, whether ownership wants to comes to terms with that or not.
