Cole Beasley Sparks Controversy
Beasley had previously criticized Williams for his painted nails. In January, the former wide receiver had also shared his disappointment with the quarterback expected to be the top pick in the NFL Draft.
“What’s up with all these dudes painting their nails nowadays?” Beasley wrote on X. “That ain’t it….”
Following the post on March 30, Beasley faced criticism but defended his stance by expressing disagreement with a “ post on X that is trying to normalize boys embracing femininity suddenly.”“Handing out awards for courage for pretending to be something you’re not,” Beasley wrote. “I’m trying to raise kids in a world that is getting more confusing every day.

As noted by Tori Rubinstein of NBC Sports Chicago , Williams explained that his painted nails are more than just a fashion choice. Williams stated that it was a tribute to his mother, who worked in a nail salon.

Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver ends association with Buffalo
Beasley has been no stranger to controversy, dating back to his time with the Bills. He was an outspoken critic of the league’s COVID-19 protocols and criticized the team after leaving in 2022.
Beasley stated in an interview with Outkick published on July 12, 2023, that there was a change in the atmosphere around the team for him once the pandemic began.
“It was different in the organization, it was different in the facility and it was different with the fans as well. I went from, like my first year there, I loved Buffalo and I found my love for football again there. And I appreciated that. But once Covid hit, all that kind of changed.”
“I mean the fans are one thing, but the people in the building is another thing,” Beasley continued. “That affected me more so than the fans. I’ve always dealt with fans giving me [crap], even in Dallas. So that was something I could deal with. But when you start seeing changes within the organization, with how people are treating you there, that’s a different deal.”
Beasley also criticized Bills legend Bruce Smith, who participated in the team’s campaign to encourage players to get vaccinated.
