DT Javon Kinlaw of the San Francisco 49ers got into a verbal brawl with Grant Cohn on the latter’s YouTube channel. Grant Cohn is a Sports Illustrated journalist who covers the 49ers.

In the video, Kinlaw goes into an expletive riddled tirade while speaking to Cohn about his analysis leading to dehumanizing players. He repeatedly asked Cohn to not tamper with his name with allegations like Cohn had made previously.

However, things got ugly as time went on. As Grant tried to intervene more and more in the conversation, Kinlaw seemed to lose more of his composure. He started hurling an almost continuous barrage of sentences laced with expletives at the sportswriter.

He said, “You talk s–t about everybody on this team, bruh. Nobody f*cks with that. Nobody f–ks with you, bruh. You don’t even understand that. Nobody f*cks with you, brother. You need to go find a new job.”
